Texas has a large population who has lived on both sides of the border and created a folkloric mix that makes Texas unique.

ISBN: 9781585443147 / Angielski / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bluebonnets and tumbleweeds, gunslingers and cattle barons all form part of the romanticized lore of the state of Texas.

Poorly fed, underpaid, overworked, deprived of sleep, and...
