A HISTORY OF EARLY WACO : With Allusions to Six Shooter Junction Adams, Barbara Johnston
Texian Press 1968 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket Signed by Author
154 pages; Signed by author on first blank page. Covers are in excellent condition. Dust jacket has light tanning to spine and edges with few a small tears; has new BroDart cover made of polyester film and white paper. Inside pages are very clean with no writing, marks or tears. From Introduction: "During all our lives my brother Jack, and I have been treated to a rich diet of all this sort of "thing and place" rooted in the history of our home town. Our father always relished providing it, and some of his anecdotes have been enriched by occasional details supplied by our mother, both of whom we dearly loved. The stories and bits of history have thrilled us, educated us a little and, I hope warned us of some perennial human errors. This book has no more chronological order than a ride through old parts of Waco in a 1908 model automobile. However, if we know the objects and sites to which it refers, or if we will bother to look at them, then I recommend that part of Dad's Waco recollection that has been titled A History of Early Waco.
