Summary:

"A book of folk building in Texas, Built in Texas ranges across the
state in word and photograph to explore the building of: settlers who
tarried on the timbered lands of East Texas and built with the
readily available pine logs in the traditions of their fathers; those
in the Western Cross Timbers used oak; European migrants into Central
Texas stacked rocks into houses in the fashions learned in the Old
Country; West Texans of the Pecos, who had neither rocks nor logs to
build with, mixed mud and grass, made adobe brick, and built in
traditions borrowed from the Mexican-Indian population already
settled there."--BOOK JACKET.
