Bryan Edward Stone - The Chosen Folks: Jews on the Frontiers of Texas
Texas History is big, and the Jewish people have been part of it since the Spanish Inquisition. Bryan Edward Stone's book on Texas Jewry reveals the story behind how Texas became a state with one of the largest populations of Jewish people in the South and West. Through biographies, memoirs, and photographic histories of notable Texas Jews, Stone, an exceptional thinker and storyteller, describes the evolution of how Jews came to Texas, in times Jacob H. Schiff launched the idea of using Galveston as a new port of entry for European Jews. An Associate Professor of History at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi and a Visiting Professor at the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, Stone publishes frequently on Texas Jewry.
