Welcome to the home page of State House Press, non-profit publisher of quality books on the history of Texas and
the Civil War.
We release not only Texana by contemporary authors but reprints of classic
accounts of Texas life and history otherwise inaccessible to the general
public. Our booklist also incorporates the publications of the McWhiney Foundation Press, specializing in the history of the Old South and the Civil War. In line with the overall goals of the Texas Frontier Heritage & Cultural Center™, we strive with our titles to make history accessible to as
many readers as possible. To accomplish this task, we have recruited
some of America’s leading historians and many bright new scholars. We believe firmly in narrative history, in telling a good story, and
in telling it well – without losing sight of the people who made history and
the events that changed a nation.
Just when you thought everything anyone could say about the Alamo had been said, author Gary S. Zaboly presents a whole new approach in his book, An Altar for Their Sons, just published by State House Press. You’ll find all the details here. |

State House Press is proud of its reputation for high standards of scholarship
and readability. As Kent Biffle of the Dallas Morning News once said, “I never met a State House Press book I didn’t like.”
State House Press and the McWhiney Foundation Press are part of the Texas
A&M University Press Consortium, which handles retail distribution
for a number of small but distinguished publishers. Our entire list of
offerings, with pictures, summaries, prices, and easy online ordering,
is available in our section of the consortium web pages.
