The Big Rich

Mix up your holiday entertainment with a history of Texas’ lawless influence on Old West

For almost the full ten years of Texas Standard, commentator WF Strong has been bringing us stories about Texas. One of his first was a list of his favorite nonfiction books about the state.

On it was “The Big Rich” by Bryan Burrough. Now, WF Strong tells us that the author has a new book he’d recommend for those who might need an antidote for Hallmark holiday movies.

Stories From Texas is a listener-supported production of KUT & KUTX Studios in Austin, Texas.
