    AMON CARTER: THE FOUNDER OF MODERN FORT WORTH. 1930-1955 Brian Cervantez, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2005 APPROVED: Ronald Marcello, Major Professor Elizabeth Turner, Minor Professor F. Todd Smith, Minor Professor Sandra Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Cervantez, Brian, Amon Carter: The Founder of Modern Fort Worth, 1930-1955. Master of Arts (History), May 2005, 110 pp., references, 57 titles. From 1930 to 1955, Amon Carter, publisher of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, exerted his power to create modern Fort Worth. Carter used his stature as the publisher of the city’s major newspaper to build a modern city out of this livestock center. Between 1930 and 1955, Carter lobbied successfully for New Deal funds for Fort Worth, persuaded Consolidated Aircraft to build an airplane plant in the city, and convinced Burlington Railways to stay in the city. He also labored unsuccessfully to have the Trinity River Canal built and to secure a General Motors plant for Fort Worth. These efforts demonstrate that Carter was indeed the founder of modern Fort Worth. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapters 1.
