"The Methodist Excitement in Texas" chronicles the heritage of southern Anglos, southern Blacks, Hispanics, Mexicans, and Europeans, especially Germans, who planted Methodism in the State of Texas. It is an absorbing and exciting account of how the annual conferences and institutions of various kinds were created, separated, discontinued and/or reunited. The distinctiveness of Texas United Methodism is portrayed convincingly.
