The Republic of Texas was founded in 1839, around the time that photography was being invented. So while there were no photographers at the Alamo or San Jacinto, they arrived soon after to immortalize, on film, Sam Houston, David Burnett, Mirabeau Lamar, and many other founding fathers of the Lone Star State. Over the following nearly two centuries, Texas politics and politicians have provided reliable, often dramatic, and sometimes larger-than-life subjects for photographers to capture in the moment and add to the historical record.
Picturing Texas Politics presents the first photographic album of Texas politicians and political campaigns ever assembled. Chuck Bailey has searched archives, museums, libraries, and private collections to find photographs that have never been published, as well as iconic images, such as Russell Lee’s pictures of one of Ralph Yarborough’s campaigns. These photographs are arranged into four chronological sections, each one introduced by historian Patrick Cox, who also provides informative photo captions. The photographs display power and political savvy from the early Republic to Lyndon Johnson and Bob Bullock; unmatched dedication to Texas in the Hobby and Bush families; and the growing influence of women in politics, from Miriam “Ma” Ferguson to Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, and Kay Bailey Hutchison. With Sam Houston’s jaguar vest, W. Lee “Pappy” O’Daniel’s hillbilly band, a famous governor with an ostrich, and prominent Texans eating watermelons, shooting guns, and riding horses, this is Texas politics at its liveliest and best.

Review "The landscape of Texas politics is as sweeping, diverse, and colorful as the country itself. This book captures that fact through a kaleidoscope of images . . . a few iconic, but most unknown to the public or even to scholars of the Lone Star State. The most powerful and influential men and women in Texas history, all through the eye of the camera: they are all captured here." (Michael L. Collins, Regents Professor of United States History and Professor Emeritus, Midwestern State University, and author of Profiles in Power: Twentieth-Century Texans in Washington)"It is a monumental achievement, gathering together such a gallery of characters, from the beginnings of Texas to the present. There is nothing else quite like this book. The photographs are exceptional." (Russell L. Martin III, Director, DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University)

Photos and stories of some of the lesser know people in Texas history, as well as the household names. While the earliest photos are all portrait shoots, not candid photos, it provides a look back to a forgotten time.
