Reminiscences of Early Days in Fort Worth.
Fort Worth: Texas Printing Company, 1906. First Edition. 8vo, publisher’s blue cloth, 101 pp. Very Good. Item #CAT0184
A scarce memoir chronicling the early days of Fort Worth. Terrell made two trips out west, the first to California. On his second trip he decided to settle and practice law in Fort Worth in the early 1850s. According to Terrell, the free land in the town attracted “a superior class of settlers… it was not unusual to meet higher culture in a cabin and to see pianos on dirt floors.” An entertaining and scarce frontier memoir. Some rubbing to cloth, faint marginal dampstaining to a section of pages, small mark of insect damage to outer edge of pages, very good minus condition overall. Howes T-105.
Price: $1,200.00
