Scraps of early Texas history Book

I believe the title is misleading. One would think the entire US would be encased in this writing but instead it was most entirely involved with Standard Gas Co later to be known as Exon. Boston was mentioned at first because the Standard refinery was in New Jersey. After that came Texas & immigrants & cowboys etc. this part of history was indeed interesting but what about the rest of the nation? I was disappointed from tle lack of content. Maybe if the title was different it would have not been such a failure in my eye.
