Abstract
Two things always surprise one anew upon turning to John H. Jenkins's Basic Texas Books: its breadth of overview and the depth of its entries. Much has happened in Texas studies in the years since 1970 when Jenkins started to prepare the first edition of this volume; much more has transpired since 1983 when that edition was published. Yet Jenkins's selections and what he says about them hold up as well now as they did then, perhaps better.
