it was organized by city! Ugh! Within area of the state at least, but then alphabetically by city name.
Roadside History of Texas
by Leon Claire Metz
The introduction is really good, and some of the introductions to each of the different areas of Texas are, too. I'd suggest skimming the rest, or just skipping around and reading the bits that appeal to you--trying to read it like a history is not going to work. In truth, it's just a bigger, thicker and more comprehensive version of the little travel pamphlets you pick up for free at Interstate Highway Welcome Stations.
Might be worth consulting before you start out on a trip, just to get some familiarity with the little towns you're going through.
