State House Press
State House Press publishes not only Texana by contemporary authors but reprints of classic accounts of Texas life and history otherwise inaccessible to the general public. It has developed an enviable 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 also specializes in books on the history of the Old South and the Civil War. The goal of State House Press has always been 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 telling it well – without losing sight of the people who made history and the events that changed a nation.
In addition to individual book titles, State House Press publishes three series of books: The Texas Heritage Series, the Military History of Texas Series, and the Civil War Campaign and Commanders Series.
For many of our authors, State House Press is a first pathway to tell their story, having all the prestige, protocols, and marketing of a university press, but without many of the agendas and pretensions. “State House has been very good to me,” said Rock Legend and Alamo Enthusiast Phil Collins, and author of The Alamo and Beyond: A Collector’s Journey. “The people I worked with were very helpful, and enthusiastic. I could never have done a book without a company that was sympathetic to the direction I wanted to go.”
State House Press is operated by the McWhiney History Education Group, recipient of the Mary Moody Northern Award of the Texas Historical Foundation for these publishing activities and the Mitchell Wilder Award for Excellence in Publications and Media Design from the Texas Association of Museums. They operate a historical touring company and develop online educational offerings for the general public and college audiences.
