Download or read book Proof written by Byrd M. Williams IV and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Byrd Williams Collection at the University of North Texas contains more than 10,000 prints and 300,000 negatives, accumulated by four generations of Texas photographers, all named Byrd Moore Williams. Beginning in the 1880s in Gainesville, the four Byrds photographed customers in their studios, urban landscapes, crime scenes, Pancho Villa’s soldiers, televangelists, and whatever aroused their unpredictable and wide-ranging curiosity. When Byrd IV sat down to choose a selection from this dizzying array, he came face to face with the nature of mortality and memory, his own and his family’s. In some cases these photos are the only evidence remaining that someone lived and breathed on this earth. The 193 photos selected here are organized into thematic sections such as “Landscapes,” “Violence and Religion,” and “Darkness.” They are significant not just for the range of subjects, but for the inclusion of a variety of examples of the evolving photographic technology from the 1880s to the present. This book is an unprecedented portrait of both photographic history and the history of Texas, as well as a record of one unique family. Roy Flukinger’s Foreword places the photographs in a historical context, and Anne Wilkes Tucker’s Afterword discusses the ethics of memory and preservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During six months in 1862, William Jefferson Whatley and his wife, Nancy Falkaday Watkins Whatley, exchanged a series of letters that vividly demonstrate the quickly changing roles of women whose husbands left home to fight in the Civil War. When William Whatley enlisted with the Confederate Army in 1862, he left his young wife Nancy in charge of their cotton farm in East Texas, near the village of Caledonia in Rusk County. In letters to her husband, Nancy describes in elaborate detail how she dealt with and felt about her new role, which thrust her into an array of unfamiliar duties, including dealing with increasingly unruly slaves, overseeing the harvest of the cotton crop, and negotiating business transactions with unscrupulous neighbors. At the same time, she carried on her traditional family duties and tended to their four young children during frequent epidemics of measles and diphtheria. Stationed hundreds of miles away, her husband could only offer her advice, sympathy, and shared frustration. In An East Texas Family’s Civil War, the Whatleys’ great-grandson, John T. Whatley, transcribes and annotates these letters for the first time. Notable for their descriptions of the unraveling of the local slave labor system and accounts of rural southern life, Nancy’s letters offer a rare window on the hardships faced by women on the home front taking on unprecedented responsibilities and filling unfamiliar roles.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Ian Frazier's Great Plains, and as vivid as the work of Cormac McCarthy, an intoxicating, singularly illuminating history of the Texas borderlands from their settlement through seven generations of Roger D. Hodge's ranching family. What brought the author's family to Texas? What is it about Texas that for centuries has exerted a powerful allure for adventurers and scoundrels, dreamers and desperate souls, outlaws and outliers? In search of answers, Hodge travels across his home state--which he loves and hates in shifting measure--tracing the wanderings of his ancestors into forgotten histories along vanished roads. Here is an unsentimental, keenly insightful attempt to grapple with all that makes Texas so magical, punishing, and polarizing. Here is a spellbindingly evocative portrait of the borderlands--with its brutal history of colonization, conquest, and genocide; where stories of death and drugs and desperation play out daily. And here is a contemplation of what it means that the ranching industry that has sustained families like Hodge's for almost two centuries is quickly fading away, taking with it a part of our larger, deep-rooted cultural inheritance. A wholly original fusion of memoir and history--as piercing as it is elegiac--Texas Blood is a triumph.

Download or read book Olympus, Texas written by Stacey Swann and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Good Morning America Book Club Pick! • A bighearted novel with technicolor characters, plenty of Texas swagger, and a powder keg of a plot in which marriages struggle, rivalries flare, and secrets explode, all with a clever wink toward classical mythology. For fans of Madeline Miller's Circe: "The Iliad meets Friday Night Lights in this muscular, captivating debut" (Oprah Daily). The Briscoe family is once again the talk of their small town when March returns to East Texas two years after he was caught having an affair with his brother's wife. His mother, June, hardly welcomes him back with open arms. Her husband's own past affairs have made her tired of being the long-suffering spouse. Is it, perhaps, time for a change? Within days of March's arrival, someone is dead, marriages are upended, and even the strongest of alliances are shattered. In the end, the ties that hold them together might be exactly what drag them all down. An expansive tour de force, Olympus, Texas cleverly weaves elements of classical mythology into a thoroughly modern family saga, rich in drama and psychological complexity. After all, at some point, don't we all wonder: What good is this destructive force we call love?

Book excerpt: From award-winning Western writer Elmer Kelton: "The story of the pioneering Midkiff family could, with individual variations, be the story of any number of Texas ranch and farm families. It is an account of sacrifice, hard work, and determination shared by so many who moved into sparsely-settled areas of rural Texas to make a home against challenging odds. They had to endure many obstacles: long distances from town, poor or non-existent roads, recurring droughts, undependable markets for what they produced and a perennial shortage of money. The days were long, the work physically demanding, the rewards all too often elusive. Though this is primarily one family's story, it could almost be a day-to-day account of any rural pioneer family of Texas in the 19th and 20th centuries."From Mike Cox, author of Texas Ranger Tales: "T.O. "Oscar" Midkiff stepped off the Texas and Pacific in Midland with three things: his saddle, $2.50 in cash, and a determination to become 'a real cowboy.' "Mary Lou Midkiff has traced her husband John's family from their roots in Tennessee and Georgia to Texas in a book that reads more like fiction than the carefully researched and documented history that it is."

Download or read book Texas Family Reunion written by Ron Hardin and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the flow of inspiration generated when family members have walked the good life and desire to share it with their relatives. The book's examination of this sharing is revealed in the Hardin annual family reunions that have existed over the past 80 years. It explores how a family-loving grandmother led the march in gathering her siblings annually so that all could rejoice in being together and that love could once again be shared. The book tells the story of those years, and how you can have a well-planned reunion that gets results and can be cost-free. The Hardin story will inspire you in planning your family gathering, either for the first time, or to improve your current get-togethers. Scores of pictures and examples offer the reader the best available methods in producing your next family reunion. Ron and Geri Hardin were reared in the 1940s and 1950s, children of tenant farmers in West Texas when times were lean and often even hard. But with that environment came many positive lessons to be learned. One of the lessons was to know there was no greater aspect of life than to be surrounded by the warmth of a loving family. With only meager finances they married early, after dating all through high school, and worked their way through Howard Payne University. Ron received his BS in the field of education with majors in journalism and English and gained employment in the newspaper business, later becoming publisher of his own newspaper. Being somewhat of an accomplished athlete, Ron, with Geri's assistance, over the years have put together a sports memorabilia collection with a million pieces which has been viewed by many sports groups in the community. Active in their church and the community gave the couple inspiration to share their successful experiences of how a loving family can flourish and enjoy the fellowship of family reunions.

Book excerpt: The first Ross Perot biography in 25 years by popular newspaper columnist Dave Lieber gathers the legendary stories about the beloved Texas billionaire in one place. Turns out that running for president of the United States (twice) was likely not the most important part of his life. Born during the Great Depression into a happy, peaceful East Texas life, he became one of America's patriots. Whether it was creating the computer services industry, battling General Motors to build better cars or helping veterans, Perot was all in. He woke up every day excited about who he could help and what problems he could solve. Yet the Perot story is also a grand saga of love passed down from generation to generation. And along with that love came strong business values that built the Perot family ethos: Always pursue world-class excellence.
