A seminal work of scholarship in its own right
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Featuring an informative foreword by J. P. Bryan, "At The Heart Of Texas: 100 Years Of The Texas State Historical Association, 1897-1997" by Richard B. McCaslin is a definitive history of the institution dedicated to discovering, collecting, preserving, and publishing historical material pertaining to Texas. Founded on March 2, 1897, the Texas State Historical Association has been instrumental in saving material relevant to the history of Texas that would otherwise have been lost to future generations of scholars and appreciative citizens. A professor of history at the University of North Texas and a Fellow of the Texas State Historical Association, Richard McCaslin brings a special expertise to his text that he has enhanced with the inclusion of sidebar vignettes, and an epilogue bringing the history up to date, illustrations, appendices, a bibliography, and an index. A seminal work of scholarship in its own right, "At The Heart Of Texas" is a core addition to Texas state history collections and could well serve as a template for other state historical associations in developing histories of their own.
