The Old Home Place: Farming on the West Texas Frontier [signed] [first edition]

This book might well be called a "living history" of the West Texas farm country. It portrays a bygone culture and illuminates the events of an era, not through a recitation of names and dates, but through the lives of real people who lived the times. The story sweeps across a full century, from the Civil War days preceding when the mainstream had shifted away from the small rural communities and toward the developing cities.
