Welcome to Lone Star Legends!!
The word Texas comes from the word "teysha" meaning "hello friend" in the language of the Caddo Indian tribes and the state's motto is "Friendship." The people of
Texas live by those words and welcome you to the Lone Star State. With more than 267,000 square miles, everything really is bigger in
Texas.
With four national forests, two national parks, 120 State Parks and a wealth of history, the State of
Texas will provide you with miles of entertainment.
Sprinkled with a bit of old-fashioned Western Grit, you will see craggy mountains, pine forests, canyons, and tall grass prairies. As you cross this second largest state in the nation, you can experience everything from cowboys to High Tech Urban Sprawls.
Texas offers something for everyone!
On these pages you will read about the infamous outlaws Sam Bass and Wild Bill Longley, Indian Wars, the casualties of Route 66, the ghost towns of
Texas, and much more.
Enjoy your travels in Texas and welcome to the Lone Star Legends.
