The Evolution of a County
From its Frontier Past to the Present
SAGA OF SCURRY
By KATHRYN COTTEN
The composite, name-calling history of Scurry County,
from its big early Hereford ranches, to the present mod-
ern oil fields. The author has provided a fitting testimony
to those earlier pioneers whose wealth was, for the most
part, confined to riches of heart and spirit. A document
of which Scurry County-and Texas-may well be proud.
$5.00.
Fabulous Riches, Yours for the Reading
Lost Mines and Hidden Treasure
By LELAND LOVELACE

group. $4.00.
The Nation's Most Hallowed Shrine
THE ALAMO
By ADINA DE ZAVALA
A concise and factual history of the famous church-fort,
from the time of its inception, through its role in the
darkest hour of Texas history, and on to the present. A
documented account by an author who was herself a
leader in the fight to preserve the historic walls from
those who sought to destroy them. $2.00.
Youth in the Indian Territory
My Startled Childhood
By LYNNE COOKE

moderate price. $2.25.i:i:, ' : ::: .........
