Bibliography
and Reference (by Subject )
Texas Escapes is an informal publication with a variety of sources.
We do our best to get our cold hard facts from those that are deemed
"reliable."
We have found that publication does not mean perfection and have also
found that the last (published) word is not necessarily the last word
- if such a thing ever existed.
We hope it provides assistance for researchers. Perhaps it may call
some attention to the fine work of the many people who devoted themselves
to subjects they found worthy. - editor |
