| Publisher Description: "By centering imaginatively around the ranch and its environs in that unique American region of the Hill Country of Texas, Rothman offers a useful approach to understanding the always fascinating Lyndon Johnson."--Journal of American History "Rothman does a good job of proving the importance of 'the home place' in the America of the 1960s. . . . Johnson wanted a place where he could be biggest and always right, and the ranch was-and during his five-year presidency became even more so-that place."--Wichita Falls Times Record News "Mr. Rothman does a nice job of explaining the politics of place, as well as describing the appeal of life on the LBJ Ranch."--The Dallas Morning News |
