Excellent history on the 1849 founding of a great Texas city,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fort that Became a City: An Illustrated Reconstruction of Fort Worth, 1849-1853 (Chisholm Trail Series) (Paperback)
This is an excellent history of Fort Worth, Texas. Founded in 1849 as an army outpost in what was then the western frontier of Texas. The soldiers were there to protect settlers. The book features original architectural drawings of what the original fort probably looked like. The illustrator researched the fort through the National Archives and other records and came up with artist's views of the frontier outpost. The accompanying text explains the history of the fort and how it grew into one of the country's great cities. This is a great "coffee table" book, and would appeal to anyone interested in the history of the old west.

This is a very interesting book about how Ft. Worth came to be. Genealogists and history buffs will enjoy its contents.
