As this belt buckle hints, the U.S. West figured prominently in the 1980 presidential campaign. Although neither were born there, both Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush became politicians of the West—Reagan in California, Bush in Texas.
Throughout his political career, Bush celebrated what he learned in Texas about himself and about his country. In his acceptance speech at the 1988 Republican National Convention, he recalled the excitement of being part of the postwar boom in America: “The war was over, and we wanted to get out and make it on our own. Those were exciting days. We lived in a little shotgun house, one room for the three of us. Worked in the oil business and then started my own. . . . People don't see their own experience as symbolic of an era but, of course, we were. And so was everyone else who was taking a chance and pushing into unknown territory with kids and a dog and a car.” Today, we join the nation in reflecting on the life and legacy of President George H. W. Bush.
