Featured Book Display: Centennial and Bicentennial Celebrations in Texas

As part of Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) activities commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence, our current featured book display and companion reading list offer a selection of titles related to other important milestones connected to Texas history.

Cover of the book The Bicentennial of the United States of America: A Final Report to the People, volume 1. The white cover contains the logo for the Bicentennial of a white star surrounded by a blue and red border and the words American Revolution Bicentennial 
1776-1976 in a circle around the star.
The Bicentennial of the United States of America: A Final Report to the People by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration, 1977.

The featured book display includes publications from a variety of city, county, state, and national centennial and bicentennial celebrations in Texas. America’s Bicentennial in 1976 is well-represented, as is the centennial of Texas independence in 1936. Search the TSLAC catalog for additional publications on these topics.
