Consider Gone to Texas by Randolph B. "Mike" Campbell.
“Gone to Texas reads as a long, chronological narrative that sweeps from more than 10,000 years ago to the opening of the twenty-first century. Its useful part is the inclusive emphasis on successive waves of immigrants and the way their clashes and collaborations shaped regional life. That people-centered arc helps readers connect cultural and demographic change across eras rather than only following political events. The main limitation is occasional cataloging of groups and episodes that can slow the book’s forward motion for readers who want brisk argument or tight thesis-driven history.”
