Quanah & Cynthia Ann Parker: The History and the Legend e story of Quanah and Cynthia Ann Parker is one of love and hate, freedom and captivity, joy and sorrow. And it began with a typical colonial family’s quest for a better life. Like many early American settlers, Elder John Parker, a Revolutionary War veteran and Baptist minister, constantly felt the pull to blaze the trail into the West, spreading the word of God along the way. He led his family of 13 children and their descendants to Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee before coming to Illinois, where they were among the rst white settlers of what is now Coles County, arriving in c. 1824. e Parkers were inuential in colonizing the region, building the rst mill, forming churches and organizing government. One of Elder John’s many grandchildren was Cynthia Ann Parker, who was born c.

Water Ft Stockton, TX 79735 (432) 336-3374 http://www.fort-stockton.lib.tx.us/ This plan was created through the University of North Texas PEARL project. Funding for PEARL (Promoting and Enhancing the Advancement of Rural Libraries) provided by the Robert and Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust. Fort Stockton Public Library Community Outreach Plan TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 Community Profile Narrative 4 Library Profile Narrative 5 Library Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives 6 Outreach Program 9 Detailed Action Plan 10 Appendix: Library Evaluation Form 13 2 Fort Stockton Public Library Community Outreach Plan Outreach Plan Introduction Fort Stockton, Texas, is located along the northern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert. It is the county seat of Pecos County. The town is on Interstate 10, approximately 90 miles southwest of Odessa. The city that was later to be named Fort Stockton grew up around Comanche Springs, at one time the third largest source of spring water in Texas. It was near Camp Stockton, established in 1858, and named for Robert Field Stockton. Comanche Springs was a favorite stop at the cross roads of the Comanche Trail to Chihuahua, the San Antonio-El Paso Road, the Butterfield Overland Mail Route, and the San Antonio-Chihuahua freight wagon road. The post protected travelers and settlers making use of the water supply at the springs. Historical, Current, and Future Roles of the Library Historically and currently, the library has filled many roles in the community. These include lifelong learning; free and equal access to information; community meeting place; educational and recreational materials; information assistance; local history and genealogy; formal education support; information literacy; cultural awareness; current topics and titles; gateway to information; business support; public computer access; early childhood literacy, and preschool door to learning.

  • LOST PINES CHAPTER Texas Master Naturalist
    LOST PINES CHAPTER Texas Master Naturalist July/August 2016 Volume 15, Issue 3 Life After Sesame Street by Larry Gfeller The very last wild eastern mountain lion was killed in the Smokies in the 1920s. Comanche Springs, a prolific spring on the legendary Comanche Trail outside Ft. Stockton once gushed more than 60 million gallons of water a day. Sadly, the springs went dry in the 1950s due to excessive groundwater pumping for agriculture. The last two wild Mexican wolves in Texas were killed in 1970. Today, less than 1% of the tallgrass prairies of the Great Plains remain. It is the most endangered piece of large ecosystem in North America. Right here in the Lost Pines region, less than 200 Houston toads were counted last year. Their habitat has been chopped up for development, crisscrossed by roads and disturbed by devastating wildfires, made worse by our ignorance of what a healthy ecosystem is. Life goes on with fragile normality, seemingly more fragile every day. Will we ever find the insight, the wisdom or the will to think beyond our own personal self-interest? All life on this planet is fundamentally derived from our natural resources. As society becomes more urbanized, vital connections with nature are failing. Fury demands a fire—we must set out to build a proper fire in our younger generation. This is a story about vision, audacity and persistence. It started as a bubbling forth, one of those pesky ideas swirling around Julia Akin’s head, tugging at her for attention. It was just a glimmer.

    The Occasional Papers Series No. 8 A Philip Lee Phillips Map Society Publication Maps of Stephen F. Austin: An Illustrated Essay of the Early Cartography of Texas Dennis Reinhartz i The Occasional Papers A Philip Lee Phillips Map Society Publication Editorial Staff: Ralph E. Ehrenberg Managing Editor Ryan Moore Chief Editor, Design and Layout Michael Klein Editor Anthony Mullan Editor David Ducey Copy Editor Geography and Map Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. Winter 2015 The Maps of Stephen F. Austin: An Illustrated Essay of the Early Cartography of Texas Dennis Reinhartz Foreword The Philip Lee Phillips Map Society of the Library of Congress is a national support group that has been established to stimulate interest in the Geography and Map Division’s car- tographic and geographic holdings and to further develop its collections through financial dona- tions, gifts, and bequests. The Phillips Map Society publishes a journal dedicated to the study of maps and collections held in the Division known as The Occasional Papers. This install- ment focuses on the maps of Stephen F. Austin and early maps of Texas. Maps, such as those of Austin, have played a key role in the history of exploration, and we hope that this issue will stimulate intellectual exploration in maps of Texas and the American west. The Library of Congress’ holdings in these areas are remarkable and many possibilities remain to be discov- ered. The paper’s author, Dennis Reinhartz, is uniquely situated to elaborate on the maps of Stephen F. Austin. For more than three and a half decades, he was a professor of history at the University of Texas at Arlington, where lectured on the history of cartography, among other interesting topics.
