HISTORY AND TRADITION-MEMORIES OF THE PAST
Many publishers talk a lot about preserving traditions. One
Texas publisher was willing to do something about it. Traditions,
memories of the past, the drama of this state's early history are
best told by those who had a part in the stirring events of the
Republic's early days. The Steck Company, Texas publishers,
have reproduced in facsimile the choice history, literature, and
adventure of that period. All of these early books were, of course,
out of print and unavailable to the average Texan or Texas
libraries. Now facsimiles may be had at a fraction of the cost.
