  “[A] linguist . . . takes readers on a tour across the state, using names and language to tell its history.” ―Alcalde   Was Gasoline, Texas, named in honor of a gas station? Nope, but the name does honor the town’s original claim to fame: a gasoline-powered cotton gin. Is Paris, Texas, a reference to Paris, France? Yes: Thomas Poteet, who donated land for the town site, thought it would be an improvement over “Pin Hook,” the original name of the Lamar County seat. Ding Dong’s story has a nice ring to it; the name was derived from two store owners named Bell, who lived in Bell County, of course. Tracing the turning points, fascinating characters, and cultural crossroads that shaped Texas history, Texas Place Names provides the colorful stories behind these and more than three thousand other county, city, and community names.   Drawing on in-depth research to present the facts behind the folklore, linguist Edward Callary also clarifies pronunciations (it’s NAY-chis for Neches, referring to a Caddoan people whose name was attached to the Neches River during a Spanish expedition). A great resource for road trippers and historians alike, Texas Place Names alphabetically charts centuries of humanity through the enduring words (and, occasionally, the fateful spelling gaffes) left behind by men and women from all walks of life.   “[A] quite useful book.” ―Austin American-Statesman

  Why should I buy this book? 
  This is not the first book that has dealt with Por and Para in Spanish, nor will it be the last. In truth, there are already lots of good books out there. 
  So, what is it that sets this one apart? What's the difference that makes the difference? 
  There's only one: 
  This book will help you use Por and Para fantastically well, whether you have a good memory or not! Would you be surprised if we told you that everything you need to know about Por and Para is already available on the internet and written into book after book? 
  So, why do you still not know how to use Por and Para accurately? Well, that's because up until now no one has given you an easy to remember, no nonsense system that's simplicity itself. 
  Pooling together their cumulative 30 years of teaching experience, Gordon and Cynthia Smith-Durán, co-owners of LightSpeed Spanish, have developed just that system. 
  'Pocket Por and Para' is probably the only book you will ever need to study on this subject. The great news is that thousands of students have already enjoyed success with this unique system. And you can join them too!
