Description
This book does more than recount McLennan County's dramatic transitions from Indian camps to pioneer villages to farming communities to modern towns. This collector's edition illustrates our heritage with over 300 rare photographs. The illustrations bring to life the challenges of the frontier, the trials of war, the labors of entrepreneurs, and the successes of cultural leaders. The photographic emphasis is not on buildings, houses, or streets but rather on people: the settlers who cleared the wilderness, the soldiers who fought the wars, the immigrants who came from distant lands, and the workers who endured economic upheavals.
