Inscribed and signed by author, ".Sheila Allen, who has upheld the tradition of the Allen family, one of the founding pioneers of Tarrant county by her many contibutions as a great teacher and as a musician enriching the culture life of Fort Worth." First Edition.Yellow Paper and Cloth Hardcover with Dust Jacket, 366 pages, 9 1/4" tall. Very Good. DJ is rubbed with light chipping. Price clipped. Inside pages clean and binding is tight. In the 195s, history teacher Julia Kathryn Garrett of Fort Worth began collecting stories from old-timers and pioneers whose memory or knowledge reached back to the early days of the city. For fifteen summer vacations she worked from morning to night on her book, creating an anecdotal chronicle of the early years of the city that began as a fort on the Trinity River in 1849. She closed her history with events a quarter of a century later, when Fort Worth was poised on the edge of growth, ready to become a modern city with the 1876 arrival of the railroad.
