The Big Bend Country of Texas by Virginia Madison Pdf

" ... My primary purpose in telling the region's story is to preserve as many of the old-timers' stories as possible, and to corral them between the covers of one book. Some of the best-loved legends and yarns have more than one version and have been told before in one way or another by Alice Jack Shipman, Barry Scobee, Carl Raht, J. Frank Dobie, Cas Edwards, and others. With their permission, I have retold some of the stories and have added many talks which never before have been published ... Most of the cattlemen, prospectors, miners, outlaws, local police officers, and Texas Rangers who made up the Big Bend's population back in the 1880s have gone on to the Big Bend up Yonder ... Most of those stories I tell here, I knew personally and I recorded their accounts as we talked in their homes, sitting in living rooms, at well-filled dining tables, on back steps, or on front porches ..."--The author's preface.

A Law for the Lion by Beatriz de la Garza Pdf

"Esto no es cosa de armas" (this is not a matter for weapons). These were the last words of Don Francisco Gutiérrez before Alonzo W. Allee shot and killed him and his son, Manuel Gutiérrez. What began as a simple dispute over Allee's unauthorized tenancy on a Gutiérrez family ranch near Laredo, Texas, led not only to the slaying of these two prominent Mexican landowners but also to a blatant miscarriage of justice. In this engrossing account of the 1912 crime and the subsequent trial of Allee, Beatriz de la Garza delves into the political, ethnic, and cultural worlds of the Texas-Mexico border to expose the tensions between the Anglo minority and the Mexican majority that propelled the killings and their aftermath. Drawing on original sources, she uncovers how influential Anglos financed a first-class legal team for Allee's defense and also discusses how Anglo-owned newspapers helped shape public opinion in Allee's favor. In telling the story of this long-ago crime and its tragic results, de la Garza sheds new light on the interethnic struggles that defined life on the border a century ago, on the mystique of the Texas Rangers (Allee was said to be a Ranger), and on the legal framework that once institutionalized violence and lawlessness in Texas.

The Governor and the Colonel by Don Carleton Pdf

William P. “Will” Hobby Sr. and Oveta Culp Hobby were one of the most influential couples in Texas history. Both were major public figures, with Will serving as governor of Texas and Oveta as the first commander of the Women’s Army Corps and later as the second woman to serve in a presidential cabinet. Together, they built a pioneering media empire centered on the Houston Post and their broadcast properties, and they played a significant role in the transformation of Houston into the fourth largest city in the United States. Don Carleton’s dual biography details their personal and professional relationship—defined by a shared dedication to public service—and the important roles they each played in local, state, and national events throughout the twentieth century. This deeply researched book not only details this historically significant partnership, but also explores the close relationships between the Hobbys and key figures in twentieth-century history, from Texas legends such as LBJ, Sam Rayburn, and Jesse Jones, to national icons, including the Roosevelts, President Eisenhower, and the Rockefellers. Carleton's chronicle reveals the undeniable impact of the Hobbys on journalistic and political history in the United States.
