Since its publication in 1980, The Guadalupe Mountains of Texas has received
many honors, including the Friends of the Dallas Public Library Award from
the Texas Institute of Letters and recognition for its superb design from
the Rounce and Coffin Club.
The Guadalupe Mountains of the Big Bend region of Texas contain some of the
wildest and most magnificent scenery of any primordial wilderness area in
the world. The 60 spectacular color photographs in this book vividly capture
this extraordinary and pristine landscape while providing a splendid visual
reference for Alan Tennant's marvelous account of the natural and social
History of the area from prehistoric times to the present".--HOUSTON
