| BARTA, CAROLYN Bill Clements: Texian to his Toenails Eakin Press, Austin, TX, 1996, 1st Ed 2nd Pr. Hardbound. In 1978, William P Clements Jr was elected the first Republican governor of Texas since Reconstruction. Defeated for reelection, he regained the seat four years later. But his life story is not just that of a governor and political trailblazer. Where most people are fortunate to succeed in one profession, Clements succeeded in three. From an initial investment in two rusty rigs, he built a multimillion-dollar oil drilling contracting company recognized as the leader in the off-shore industry. Then he served four years in the halls of power in Washington as deputy secretary of defense in the Nixon-Ford administrations. Spanning the days from oilfield roughneck as a young man to a cattle raiser in retirement, Bill Clements' biography is more than one man's life story. It's also a chapter in the history of the state of Texas. ISBN 157168090X. LCCN 96-2707. 479 Pgs. Description text copyright 2007 ISBN: 157168090X. Nr Fine in Good DJ. Discarded Library Book.
