NEW
LURE OF THE LAND
Texas County Maps and the
History of Settlement
Joe B. Frantz
Mike Cox
Edited by Roger A. Griffin
"The authors have provided not only a
readable history of lands and settlement
but also a panorama of Texas history."Houston
Chronicle
More than eighty nineteenth-century
maps from the Texas General Land Office
collection are reproduced in an oversized
format, some in their full, original color.
They illustrate this story of how Texas,
with its abundant and affordable land,
lured early settlers. The maps show the
boundaries of land grants and the names
of the grant holders, clearly depicting the
pace and order of settlement. Here are the
empresarios and colonists, the swindlers
and squatters, and the land disputes that
grew into wars. Separate short features
discuss land-related topics, such as surveying,
railroads and land, and the
Archive War. 11x17. 244 pp. 19 color, 63
duotone maps. 28 illus. $72.50

COWTOWN MODERNE
Art Deco Architecture of Fort
Worth, Texas
Judith Singer Cohen
Foreword by David Gebhard
The rise of Art Deco paralleled the
booming growth of Fort Worth in the
1920s and 1930s. Impressed with the
Zigzag Moderne Style skyscrapers in New
York City, southwestern tycoons constructed
similarly extravagant buildings.
Judith Singer Cohen's lively cultural
history documents not only the distinctive
Art Deco structures built in Fort Worth
but also two decades' worth of the societal
upheavals, world events, and personalities
that built them. Abundantly illustrated
with both modern and period
photographs, Cowtown Moderne is a
detailed written and visual record of a
unique era in architecture. 8 1/2x11. 224
pp. 182 b&w photos. $29.95
