Native Texan: Deep in the Heart of the Lone Star State is a lively
and personal tour of small town and big city Texas in search of
what makes the state unique. Nationally acclaimed columnist Joe
Holley is widely loved for his popular “Native Texan” column,
which appears in the Houston Chronicle. In thirty-five stories
curated from column archives, Holley introduces readers to his
favorite people and places across the state. From interviews on the
“weird” streets of Austin and his search for ghosts in Bigfoot
to a decades-long love affair with everything about Marathon and
hikes on the back trails of the Big Bend, Holley is a masterful
storyteller. His instincts are backed by a seasoned journalist’s
passion to measure legends and tall tales against investigations
into what really happened. He reveals small-town Texas, and some
small towns within the largest cities, with a style that has proven
popular with readers and a keen eye for a unique spin on an old
story. The result is an entertaining and certainly surprising view
of the Lone Star state.
