Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Stephen F. Austin State University discussed research opportunities for
San Augustine.
We finally gave up trying to make all the conferences and yielded the
March 30-31 West Texas Historical Association meeting in Wichita Falls
to New Handbook of Texas editor Roy Barkley and asked Center for
American History associate director for developmentJ. C. Martin to rep-
resent us at the annual Texas Map Society conference at Texas Tech
University in Lubbock on April 6 and 7, where he gave a talk about
'"James Perry Bryan: The Man and His Maps." The Center houses Bryan's
outstanding collection. During that same weekend, the William P.
Clements Center for Southwest Studies and the Stanton Sharp Sym-
posium at Southern Methodist University organized a conference on
"The Future of the Southern Plains, where Elliott West of the University
of Arkansas, Yolanda Romero of the North Lake campus of the Dallas
County Community College, Diana Davids Olien of UT Permian Basin,
and TSHA author John Miller Morris of UT-San Antonio presented
papers. And two weeks later the San Jacinto Museum of History at La
Porte sponsored a symposium on recent historic archaeology and media
research on the battle of San Jacinto from the Mexican perspective.
As we recovered from our travels, we found that the 2002 program
committee, under the enthusiastic guidance of Chairman Bruce Glasrud
of Sul Ross State University, is already well into planning our o6th
annual meeting in Corpus Christi, which will be held on March 7-9-
This will be our first annual meeting in Corpus Christi, and Executive
Council member Robert Wooster of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi promis-
es that we will have fun on the Texas coast. He points out that Corpus
Christi is a vibrant city with many appealing features, including the new
aquarium, the Corpus Christi Museum, Padre Island National Seashore,
and architect Philip Johnson's handsome Art Museum of South Texas,
which includes, amidst the works of art, a large picture window featuring
a stunning view of the bay, lest you forget where you are.
Chairman Glasrud says that his committee members have already
pulled together a wonderful slate of sessions that, after Corpus Christi
itself, will almost be icing on the proverbial cake. As usual, the papers
will cover a broad range of topics and eras. Combine that with the ban-
quets, receptions, book and map auctions, book displays, author sign-
ings, historic tours, and all the rest, and you have the o6th annual
meeting of the Texas State Historical Association, once again the high-
light of the year for those who love Texas history. Mark it on your calen-
dar now and introduce your historically inclined friends to the TSHA
experience.584
