Book Description

TCU Press is pleased to feature the collected letters of Larry L. King as our lead title. This project has been long in the making, and we're proud that Larry brought the book to us. We truly believe King is not only a very good writer and a very funny man, but his is an important voice in Texas and in the nation. These letters reveal sides of him not found in his fiction, essays, and plays. TCU Press has built a reputation for publishing local history. We believe it's our contribution to our community, and we now have fourteen titles relating to Fort Worth history in print. In this year of the city's sesquicentennial celebration, we are proud to add Angels on High, a photographic record of the creation and installation of the celebrated Bass Hall angels. We are also glad to cooperate with Texas Wesleyan University School of Law to return to print the slim but significant memoir, Early Days of Fort Worth by Captain J. C. Terrell. This rare volume, long unavailable, is almost the only source of Fort Worth history in the 1850s, immediately after the dragoons left their post. Fort Worth historian Judge Stephen King has written a fine after word placing the book in the context of its times.

Book Description

Although the details fade with time, our memory of the location doesn't change substantially - the way the place looked, our sense of how people used it or the feelings it evoked. In reality, though, things do change whether the alterations involve only minor details or major changes to the landscape and buildings.".

Book Description

Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Early Days of Fort Worth Capt. J. C. Terrell landed in Fort Worth in the early 50's, and this is a sketch of his second law office, which he has had removed to his elegant residence on the Southwest Side, as a kind of souvenir of these old days. This build ing was removed from Birdville, the former County seat. Like Col. Smith, he is still looking backward to the time when Fort Worth was a baby, and he acted as one of the fathers of the foundling. The artist kodaked this as it.

Book Description

As early as 1867, Fort Worth held promise as an ideal stockyards. Making their way to northern markets, cattle passed through the city on what became the Chisholm Trail. By 1876, local businessmen urged railroad development, and the establishment of local packing facilities and animal pens followed in the 1880s. The first stockyards opened in 1889. It was not until the nation's two largest meatpacking giants, Armour and Swift, bought into the local market in 1902, however, that the stockyards began to thrive. Fort Worth became the largest stockyards in the Southwest and ranked consistently from third to fourth nationwide. Most major stockyards have now closed, including Fort Worth in 1992. Of these, only Fort Worth has successfully turned its former livestock market into a tourist site, attracting nearly a million visitors annually.
