Fort Worth and Tarrant County
Fort Worth & Tarrant County explores the past and present of "Cowtown" and its neighboring cities. The county's major city, Fort Worth, has been likened to a young hellion who has matured into an unwonted respectability. When other frontier towns dried into dust, Fort Worth dug in and survived. In three generations, the remote army post on the Trinity River grew into a major city, its growth paralleling major phases and developments in the American West. And with Fort Worth, Tarrant County grew and prospered, their identities linked by geography and commerce. Cattle, railroads, oil, aviation--these form the rich tradition of Tarrant County history, a history preserved in the many landmark structures that survive today and serve to introduce resident and visitor alike to the past. There's the Livestock Exchange Building that symbolizes Fort Worth's history as Cowtown--it once held the offices of forty-two livestock commission companies and livestock buyers. The Eddleman-McFarland House, Thistle Hill, and Arlington's graceful Fielder House recreate the days of cattle baron mansions and high society. The seven-story Flatiron Building downtown was one of the tallest buildings in North Texas when it was built in 1907. And the spirits of Hell's Half Acre, Fort Worth's notorious red-light district, still draw the attention of local residents and visitors alike. Fort Worth & Tarrant County introduces you to the places where Tarrant County history was made. Book in hand you can visit these sites and many more. The history of buildings and sites inevitably includes the people behind them, the people who created the history. In these pages you'll read about Al Hayne, who rescued people from the burning Spring Palace; or Amon Carter, who brought aviation to the city; W. T. Waggoner, the legendary cattleman who built Thistle Hill for his daughter and whose name graces an historic office building. Buildings in this guide are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, have a Texas Historical Marker, or a designation as a State Archeological Landmark. This easy-to-use guide is arranged geographically. Five sections describe sites in Fort Worth. Smaller cities are listed alphabetically within three general geographic areas. Cemeteries are in a category by themselves. Thematic tours are listed by subject or interest, such as African American history, historic neighborhoods, or the cattle and livestock industry. Illustrated maps guide explorers on suggested walking tours, and a timeline chronicles the county's history. A project of the Tarrant County Historical Society and TCU Press.
A Walk Across Texas
Part travelogue, part natural history, and part documentary, A Walk across Texas is the record of three friends' journey from the Panhandle to Granbury--a 450-mile walk across West Texas. Jon McConal and his two friends, Eddie Lane and Norm Snyder, hiked for twenty-eight days through the less traveled byways of the Texas outlands, and in the process they encountered a world that is now as foreign to most Americans as the Taj Mahal. Researching places they wanted to see in advance, the trio selected a route that crossed as many creeks and rivers as possible and offered amenable campsites. Not young men, McConal, Lane, and Snyder conquered the harsh environment of West Texas, dealing with blisters and backaches, severe weather and low blood sugar while still remaining friends. Along the way they met unique local characters and visited out-of-the-ordinary sites. With his seasoned journalist's eye, McConal blends personal interviews and keen descriptions of the countryside they trekked. As he spins the narrative of their journey, local legends, histories, flora, and fauna unfold.

Where Do We Go From Here
Where Do We Go From Here Ken dated Cassie ten years earlier until he left Georgia and returned to Wenatchee, Washington. They remained friends and his invitation to attend an intentional community convention in Seattle, instigated a road trip. The idea of seeing Ken again stirs up old feelings that conflict with her lifelong decision to remain unmarried and independent, but her awareness of needing to prepare for the next stage of her life is calling her. Labeling themselves, the Audacious Endeavorers, Cassie, Grace, Jolie, and Rick take a three-week road trip across the US. Although their backgrounds are diverse, they find a commonality in a sense of adventure and discovery both in the physical world through which they travel, and the world within. Rick was biding his time, making no obvious moves with Grace... until attractive horseman Gates came on the scene, disrupting the group dynamics. Fifteen years younger than Cassie, Grace is taking her own journey of independence. Reclusive by nature, joining these relative strangers is a big step, and will take her outside her comfort zone. Jolie's sense of humor, avid curiosity, and occasional demands for a reality check, keep things lively. Each finds their own endeavors to be truly-audacious. A journey that takes them through a country full of natural beauty, human creativity, and self-discovery. All is well?
