5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-know Houston history book,
By Jim DuLaney "jimdulaney" (Santa Fe, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gus Wortham: Portrait of a Leader (Hardcover)
Fran Dressman introduces us to an amazing man, and to his enormous contributions to the great city of Houston, Texas. She brings him to life for the rest of us, a man of the highest integrity and ability. Myself, a life-long Houstonian, I have always taken the Wortham name for granted, simply a name on a fountain or a building or such. Having just finished reading this book, I will now see the name Wortham in the clear light it deserves. Skim the chapters that deal with the nitty gritty of managing American General Insurance, but pay close attention to the rest of this book which describes the relationships and contributions in the 20th century by great Houstonians like Mr. Gus Wortham.
