Born in a farmhouse in the Texas Hill Country, Lyndon Baines Johnson brought a western sensibility to the White House. Building on recent studies that have delved into Johnson's Texas roots, Kevin J. Fernlund has written a brief, lively biography of the thirty-sixth president that better shows how his home state molded his early years--and how the one-time Houston schoolteacher eventually became a Texas tornado twisting across the state's and soon the nation's political landscape.
