The Eyes of Texas

Lance Kennedy

---

A study of Texas identity and the civilizational forces that have shaped the Lone Star State from its founding through the present day.

Originally published by Arktos Media, The Eyes of Texas examines the mythos, culture, and political character of Texas as a distinct civilization within — and often against — the broader American project. It traces the Republic’s self-understanding from the battles of 1836 through the twentieth century’s oil boom and cultural revolution, arguing that Texas has always been more than a state: it is a civilizational claim, an idea of sovereignty that predates and persists beyond its membership in the union.

This is not a nostalgic work. It is an analytical one — an attempt to understand what Texas is, what it was, and what it might yet become, stripped of both sentimentality and cynicism.
