The Houston Review. Volume XVIII, number 2 (1998): pages 124-143.
The Houston Review, published three times a year, was founded in the spring of 1979 by the Houston Metropolitan Research Center and published by the Houston Public Library Board. James M. Poteet first edited the periodical, which focuses on the history and culture of the Gulf Coast area of Texas. Louis Machiafava was the editor in 1998 when this peer-reviewed article was published. The new Houston History magazine replaced the Houston Review in 2003 and has had a new name since 2007. Houston History, a triannual magazine published by the Center for Public History at the University of Houston, is the voice of history and culture throughout the Houston area. It aims to provide Houstonians with the opportunity to learn about all aspects of Houston's history. The articles published will seek to educate and entertain while exploring important aspects of Houston’s history and culture.
