A Texan’s View of the USA (1947)

Exploring their thoughts of grandeur (and what they think of the rest of us)

This is a first: one of my subscribers sent me this map, noting "I have a rather funny small poster called "A Texan's map of the US", it's a period reprint from the Ford Times magazine from the late 1940s, and was given to my grandfather Dr. J.W. Wright by a local Ford dealer in Lubbock Texas.”

I did a bit of research and found it listed at the Hagley Museum and Library. It notes “This Texan's Map of the United States' comes from a March, 1947 issue of Ford Times”

It appears Texan’s thoughts of grandeur was a common theme. Here’s two more:
