Beginning with the Native Americans who lived here for thousands of years and the Spanish explorers who blazed the trails, later followed by the pioneers and the heroes of the Texas Revolution, the story of Texas is filled with exciting adventure. It is flavored with the customs and cultures of the indigenous and many dif- ferent people who came here. It is populated with a rich cast of characters ranging from Spanish missionaries to rugged cowboys, from cattle barons to struggling farmers, from oil-boom roughnecks building derricks to elegant sophisticates building Victorian-era mansions. Accounts of their lives are con- veyed across the state in communities large and small, each with their own special tales to tell. In centuries-old structures, in world-class and small-town museums, in beautifully restored courthouses and on historic Main Streets, local communities have set the stage to tell the entertaining story of Texas to visitors who come their way. The Texas Heritage Trails Program brings it all together. The program itself has historic beginnings. In 1968 Gov- ernor John Connally and the Texas Highway Department (now the Texas Department of Transportation) created a series of ten scenic driving trails across the state in conjunction with HemisFair, an international exposition that commemorated the 250th anniversary of the founding of San Antonio. Blue road signs went up all over the state to mark these scenic byways. In 1997, almost thirty years later, the state legislature charged the Texas His- torical Commission (THC) to create a heritage tourism program. The THC responded with a regional statewide program built around these old trails based on partnerships that celebrates the history of each region. The trails now serve as scenic pathways through ten heritage regions filled with historic communities and attractions both on and off the trails. Those classic blue signs are still marking the way, but now they are revealing the exciting adventures to be had across the cultural roadmap of the Lone Star State. Throughout Texas, the real places are telling the real stories of a vibrant and vital state. Use this guide as a starting point for your adventure. Enjoy your visit! 2 TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION 72793 THC TRAVELGUIDE2 5 9_10_2021 Cowboy on the Plains Texas Pecos Trail Sign, near Sheffield Bonham Parade TOP, ERWIN E.

In some communities that’s the actual name of the street, in others it may have a different name. Whatever it is called, the main street of town serves as the economic engine and the core of the community. Our Main Streets tell us who we are and who we were, and how the past has shaped us. In the last 40 years, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has promoted its Main Street Program as a way to revitalize historic downtowns across the nation. More than two thousand commu- nities are now participating including nearly 90 in Texas. When you visit a designated Main Street city, you know that local citizens have taken steps to bring back the historic heart of their communities. You’ll find charming storefronts, interesting shops and restaurants, all in restored historic structures. Brick-paved streets and vintage lighting grace many of the Main Street cities around the state. Look for the special Main Street icon before city descriptions in the regional chapters. TODD WHITE 4 TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION 72793 THC TRAVELGUIDE2 7 9_10_2021 COURTHOUSE PRESERVATION Caring for Texas Treasures For many county seat communities, the courthouse is a source of civic pride. Texas has more historic court- houses than any other state. Today more than 235 courthouses still stand that are least 50 years old and about 80 were built before the turn of the 20th century. By the end of that century, most of these structures were significantly deteriorated. In the 1990s, the Texas Historical Commission documented the condition of 50 of the state’s oldest courthouses and also determined that counties lacked the resources to preserve these distin- guished buildings. In 1998, the National Trust for Historic Preservation listed Texas county courthouses on its roster of Most Endangered Properties in the nation. The state’s response was to create the Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program, the largest preservation grant program ever initiated by a state government. This nationally recognized program has turned around the trend of disrepair and begun the process of taking care of some of the state’s most treasured historic landmarks. So far, about 70 have been restored to their former splendor and are the magnificent centerpieces of their communities once again.

Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.

Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ...........................................................................................................

Here, we review these records and the global climate teleconnections they suggest following the recent publication of the Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and Analysis (SISAL) database. We find that low-latitude records generally reflect changes in precipitation, whereas higher latitude records are sensitive to temperature and moisture source variability. Tropical records suggest precipitation variability is forced by orbital precession and North Atlantic Ocean circulation driven changes in atmospheric convection on long timescales, and tropical sea surface temperature variations on short timescales. On millennial timescales, precipitation seasonality in southwestern North America is related to North Atlantic climate variability.
