Download or read book Warriors of the Rio Grande The History of Maverick County in WWII written by Judy Munter and published by Hhpublishing. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During our research for this book, we discovered that many veterans never talked about their experiences in the war when they were younger. Not only did WWII have a lasting effect on the soldier, but it affected the community as a whole . . . every community in the United States was affected, but this is about our community in South Texas. As a member of the "Baby Boomer" generation of Eagle Pass, I grew up knowing many of the veterans mentioned in this book. I never knew that the Postmaster, teacher, or bar owner, that I knew most of my life, were actually a POW camp survivor, a Navy medic who was forced to amputate the leg of a battle buddy, or a war hero. It is our duty, as the younger generation, to share these stories of a great and honorable generation that will soon be gone. It is our personal mission to ensure they are never forgotten. This is a journey through time-how Maverick County came to be, stories from its residents, and why WWII began . . . This book tells their stories.

Download or read book The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail 1858 1861 written by Glen Sample Ely and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the antebellum frontier in Texas, from the Red River to El Paso, a raw and primitive country punctuated by chaos, lawlessness, and violence. During this time, the federal government and the State of Texas often worked at cross-purposes, their confused and contradictory policies leaving settlers on their own to deal with vigilantes, lynchings, raiding American Indians, and Anglo-American outlaws. Before the Civil War, the Texas frontier was a sectional transition zone where southern ideology clashed with western perspectives and where diverse cultures with differing worldviews collided. This is also the tale of the Butterfield Overland Mail, which carried passengers and mail west from St. Louis to San Francisco through Texas. While it operated, the transcontinental mail line intersected and influenced much of the region's frontier history. Through meticulous research, including visits to all the sites he describes, Glen Sample Ely uncovers the fascinating story of the Butterfield Overland Mail in Texas. Until the U.S. Army and Butterfield built West Texas’s infrastructure, the region’s primitive transportation network hampered its development. As Ely shows, the Overland Mail Company and the army jump-started growth, serving together as both the economic engine and the advance agent for European American settlement. Used by soldiers, emigrants, freighters, and stagecoaches, the Overland Mail Road was the nineteenth-century equivalent of the modern interstate highway system, stimulating passenger traffic, commercial freighting, and business. Although most of the action takes place within the Lone Star State, this is in many respects an American tale. The same concerns that challenged frontier residents confronted citizens across the country. Written in an engaging style that transports readers to the rowdy frontier and the bustle of the overland road, The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail offers a rare view of Texas’s antebellum past.
