Does Texas's experience as a republic make it unique among the other states? In many ways, Texas was an ""accidental republic"" for nearly ten years, until Texans voted overwhelmingly in favor of annexation to the United States after winning independence from Mexico. Beginning with the Texas Revolution, Single Star of the West examines the emergence of a Texas identity.

Single Star of the West begins with the Texas Revolution and examines the emergence of a Texas identity. Next, several contributors discuss how the Republic was defended by its army, navy, and the Texas Rangers. Individual chapters focus on the early founders of Texas—Sam Houston, Mirabeau B. Lamar, and Anson Jones. Texas’s efforts at diplomacy, and persistence and transformation in its economy, also receive careful analysis. Finally, social and cultural aspects of the Texas Republic receive coverage, with discussions of women, American Indians, African Americans, Tejanos, and religion.
