Book Description
For eight centuries, the Texas frontier has seen conquest, exploration, immigration, revolution and innovation, leaving to history a cast of fascinating characters and captivating tales. Its historic period began in 1519 with Spanish exploration, but there was a prehistory long before, nearly fifteen thousand years earlier, with the arrival of people to Texas. Each story pulls a new perspective from this long history by examining nearly all angles--from archaeology to ethnography, astronomy, agriculture and more. These true stories prove to be unexpected, sometimes contrarian and occasionally funny but always fascinating. Join author and historian C. Herndon Williams as he recounts his exploration of nearly a millennium of the Texas frontier.

Book Description
It is 6000 miles as the crow flies from Kamchatka, Siberia to TEXAS. The Siberians who began the trip here, wound up 3000 years later in Texas. There is a continuous path of cave sites and rockshelters with Clovis and Folsom cultural artifacts along the way. All of us know by now that during the Pleistocene, ocean water was tied up in the Arctic ice to depths of a mile or more and the oceans of the world were lowered by possibly 300 feet. During this time there was a land bridge called Beringa open for travel, by foot, to North America. This is the story of how Asian people from Siberia were able to walk into Alaska, and colonize the Western Hemisphere. Kamchatka is a land filled with volcanoes and subterranian lava tubes, which sometimes have hot springs in them. In a land as cold as Siberia, these tube caves are a perfect environment for humans to live in comfort. Our trip began with Siberians in either caves or lava tubes along the Kamchatka peninsula, seeking the adventure of finding new worlds to the East. This is a tale of some fiction and fact and it is hoped that the reader will find the journey exciting.
