Hudson Bend and the Birth of Lake Travis by Carole McIntosh Sikes Pdf

Along the picturesque shores of the Colorado River lies historic Hudson Bend. Established by Wiley Hudson in the 1850s, the verdant hills and abundant water attracted scores of farming families. Hudson's example was soon followed by still more settlers, who created their own thriving communities in the area. Discover the evolution of this cherished region and the courageous people who shaped it, from the Comanche tribes and Anglo settlers to the developers, "cedar choppers" and construction workers who forged the lake in 1937. Author and hill country native Carole McIntosh Sikes offers a collection of essays that explores a history forever linked with hill country culture, New Deal-era programs and Texas politics.

Lake Travis's South Shore by Leslie Ann Webb Pdf

The Colorado River, running through Austin, Texas, and the area now referred to as Lake Travis, has always been a beautiful place to live. The early settlers found it suitable for farming and ranching--until it rained. The rain soaked up soil, and water upstream often engorged the land and washed out everything in its path. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal created agencies that constructed hydroelectric dams for the Tennessee Valley Authority, and those were used as blueprints for the Lower Colorado River Authority. The ground-breaking for the Mansfield Dam took place on February 19, 1937, and the dam was completed in 1942, providing power and flood control for the area. The dam created Lake Travis and brought about a new recreational industry. Boat docks, lodges, and parks sprang up along the newly created lake, and they are still enjoyed today.

The Legacy Road by Steve Enyeart Pdf

The Legacy Road is a non-fiction work that is difficult to categorize. It's a travel essay, a historic biographical experience, a genealogical guidebook, a Civil War studies reference, and an educational and spiritual journey that we will take together, learning as we go. Traveling upon The Legacy Road -using my ancestor's Civil War letters as guideposts- was my unique response to the unexpected passing of my father. If this book can help anyone shed some light on the mysteries of their own heritage, increase their knowledge of Civil War History, or confront the adverse effects of personal loss, then this dedication -twelve-years in the making- will prove its worth. The Legacy Road is a story that was already written. It just hadn't found its author yet. Ask anyone who is close to me, and they'll agree that there seemed to be some spiritual forces at work behind the development of this project, and had been from the very beginning. Above all, the adventure was a life-altering journey. Enjoy the ride.
