Braggin’ on Texas

Sherrie S. McLeroy

Quick! Do you know…Which college was the first in the world to award a degree in jazz? Which state had the most drive-in movie theaters? Who was the first person to push a peanut up Pike’s Peak with his nose? Who invented Frito Pie? Well, all the answers can be found here in Texas. ‘Texas Brag’ is a long cherished tradition in the nation’s second largest state. But the fact is that Texas does have more than its share of unique people, places, events, inventions, and products: many of them the first, the largest, or the only representative of its kind.
Braggin’ on Texas
takes an accurate but less than serious look at the Lone Star State - both past and present - by presenting some of the more obscure, convoluted, and occasionally outrageous achievements of Texans and their state. So sit back and prepare to enjoy Texas as you’ve never known it before!
