Rough Times on the Frio, by Adrian Anderson EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 3 WRITING EAST TEXAS HISTORY, 1972~1985 by James H. Conrad In the spring of 1974, this journal published an annotated bibliography of East Texas histories. The compilers, Gloria Frye and Bar­ bara Edwards, selected books that appeared between 1963 and 1972. l Since much new research and interpretation of the East Texas past has been done in the last thirteen years, it is appropriate to present a new survey of the historical literature. Because of the number of works on East Texas, a comprehensive review is impossible; therefore, only the significant, ground breaking secondary sources - both articles and monographies ­ have been chosen for inclusion. This process of selection is subjective. The definition of what constitutes East Texas is also somewhat subjec­ tive. But for purposes of this essay, East Texas is defined as that region of Texas east of the Cross Timbers and Brazos River and extending as far north as the Red River and as far south as the Gulf Coast. The history of East Texas cannot be understood apart from the geography that nurtured the people, that shaped patterns of settlement and provided forms of livelihood. The physical environment of East Texas has changed drastically in the past 200 years into a region where few if any part remains unmodified by man. The shift from wilderness and plains to planted fields and pasture lands - which took nearly a century and a half and entailed complex though not always obvious alterations in climate1 water supply, plant and animal life - has engaged the attention of historians. In the last two years, historians have written three books on the history of the interaction of man and land in Texas. In their Land ofBears and Honey Joe C. Truett and Daniel W. Lay, native East Texans, provided a thoughtful, though somewhat romantic study of the changes man has made in the natural environment of East Texas over the past 150 years. 2 Drawing upon reports, diaries, official surveys, and travelers' descriptions of East Texas from the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Truett and Lay described the unspoiled wilderness, the wildlife, the cause of the eventual destruction of anirnallife, changing vegetation, and the dis­ appearance of the forests. Robin W. Doughty's Wildlife and Man in Texas: Environmental Change and Conservation and Del Weniger's The Ex­ plorers' Texas: The Lands and Waters presented more systematic ap­ proaches to the ecology of Texas but their coverage remained more general and perhaps more superficial. 3 A somewhat different approach to man-land relation is an article by Dan L. Flores, published in 1984, that summarizes the results of the Freeman and Custis Expedition of 1806, the first scientific expedition to explore the Red River. 4 Freeman's descriptions of the Indian villages along James H. Conrad is University Archivist and Oral Historian at East Texas State University_ 4 EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION the river and Custis' ethnological and ethnobotanical references, reprinted in a Jefferson and Southwestern Exploration, edited by Flores, are a valuable aid in appreciating the ecology and enthology of the Red River on the eve of Anglo settlement of Northeast Texas. In another study on the ecology of East Texas, geographer Terry G. Jordan examined the microcosm and the prairie in the eastern parts of Texas, openings that farmers often preferred to the wooded areas and that often shaped pat­ terns of settlement in East Texas. 3 Like Jordan's prairie enclaves scattered across the woodlands of East Texas. the Big Thicket, Caddo Lake, and North Titus County are wilderness and cultural enclaves, anomalies in an industrialized and ur­ banized countryside.

  • Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman's Town
    Roads to Destruction: Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman’s Town by Cynthia Lewis Like most American cities following World War II, Dallas entered a period of economic prosperity, and city leaders, like their counterparts throughout the nation, sought to maximize that prosperity through various urban renewal initiatives.1 Black urban communities across the country, branded as blighted areas, fell victim to the onslaught of postwar urban redevelopment as city leaders initiated massive renewal projects aimed at both bolstering the appeal and accessibility of the urban center and clearing out large sections of urban black neighborhoods. Between the years 1943 and 1983, Dallas city officials directed a series of massive redevelopment projects that decimated each of the city’s black communities, displacing thousands and leaving these communities in a state of disarray.2 This paper, which focuses on the historically black Dallas community of North Dallas, argues that residential segregation, which forced the growth and evolution of North Dallas, ultimately led to the development of slum conditions that made North Dallas a target for postwar slum clearance projects which only served to exacerbate blight within the community. Founded in 1869 by former slaves, North Dallas, formerly known as Freedman’s Town, is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Dallas.3 Located just northeast of downtown and bounded by four cemeteries to the north and white-owned homes to the south, east, and west, the area became the largest and most densely populated black settlement in the city. Residential segregation played a pivotal role in the establishment and evolution of North Dallas, as it did with most black urban communities across the country.4 Racial segregation in Dallas, with its roots in antebellum, began to take 1 For an in-depth analysis of the United States’ postwar economy, see Postwar Urban America: Demography, Economics, and Social Policies by John F.

    Cypress Spring American White Trash on Average Joes Entertainment $15.99 SRP street: 10.12.18 UPC: 661869003207 Holding true to the cliché ‘country to the core,’ Florida-based country rap group Cypress Spring’s beat-driven music and down-home Southern lifestyle continue to connect with fans far and wide. On their long-awaited 12- track album American White Trash, the country rap trio flies a proud flag espousing the virtues of hard work and partying harder, patriotism, God and family – virtues closely aligned with their exploding fan base. Cypress Spring’s music was first introduced on CMT’s highest rated hit show “Party Down South.” Since then, the band has gggarnered over 18 million YouTube views of their breakthrough video “Way of Life” with over 25 million streams across digital radio platforms, over 100,000 fans across social media and more than 500,000 sales on the popular Mud Digger compilation albums. Sonically, the 12-track album has something for every fan. Patriotism shines through on the driving, hit song and video “America,” while “Whiskey’s Always Strong,” a standout ballad, will surely tug at the heartstrings and “Needle Junkie,” a clever throwback, sings the praises of vinyl records. Recognized as the hottest newcomers on the country rap music scene, the band is quickly gaining fans and growing their fan base. An extensive tour booked by Nashville’s Buddy Lee Agency is planned to support the new album. In addition, the marketing campaign includes major media mailings, playlist procurement on digital streaming platforms, online reviews, features and interviews, weekly webisodes with band members, Facebook live sessions, social media engagement, digital marketing and contesting and giveaways.

    SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL AND AGRICULTURAL SURVEY OF TEXAS, —BY— S. B. BUCKLEY, A. M., Ph. D., STATE GEOLOGIST. HOUSTON: a. c. gray, state printer. 1876. Second Annual Report of the State Geologist To His Excellency, Richard Coke, Governor of Texas: This second annual report of the geological and agricul- tural survey of the State, is respectfully submitted to your consideration. With many thanks for the aid you have given the work, I remain, yours truly, S. B. BUCKLEY, State Geologist. Introduction In the following pages I have given what I deem to be the most useful things pertaining to the agricultural and mineral resources of the State, which I have obtained during the past year, reserving much geological matter of scientific interestfor a final report. Since the last report, I have bought chemical apparatus sufficient to analyze mineral soils and mineral waters, which will be of great assistance in the future work of the survey. This appa- ratus has only been recently obtained. Austin, March 27th, 1876. 4 The Importance of Geology and Geological Surveys. I supposed that the importance of geology and geo- logical surveys was so well known and acknowleded that it would not be proper here to say anything about their usefulness. Nor should I allude to these things, had I not a few weeks ago, heard one who was called a leading member of the late Constitutional Convention, state in a public speech to that body, that "Geology is a humbug and he knew it to be so." It is strange that all the leading universities, colleges and schools of the civilized world have been teaching a humbug for the last 45 years; and still more strange, that all civilized countries, including every one of the United States, excepting Florida, have had or are having geolog- ical surveys made of their domains; also, the United States Government, during the last 15 years or more, has had and still continues to have geological surveys made of its territories.
