Summary: First-hand accounts of TX trail drivers or their descendants
Comment: An excellent rendition of early TX history through a compilation of first hand accounts of trail drivers or their spouses or descendants. Since the accounts were either written or spoken there are frequent misspellings of names such as the Dietert Brothers of Boerne, TX, and Wenzel Friedrich of San Antonio Horn furniture fame, but the reader can find through this with some research efforts. Much history of the people, places, times, and conditions given as individual recollections serve as an excellent source of reference. Forturnately, the Trail Drivers Association in conjuction with the author foresaw the importance of such an endeavor before this important history would be lost as these people inevitably would die off. I feel the book is a tremendously interesting book! I accidentally stumbled on it in Boerne, TX, in the library and was so excited when I found a copy for myself in hardback, though also available in paperback.
