Volume 3 - "Temple" published December 2008 explores the history of Temple from the time the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad first established the little town on the prairie in 1881 through years of growth to the much larger and progressive city of the 1950s.
We spent more
than 12 years researching, collecting, and compiling information from newspapers, personal letters, Bibles, ledgers, court records, city directories, and oral interviews. Much of our archival research was conducted at major universities throughout Texas and
at the National Archives. This information and more than 400 photographs of local residents, events, and documents are used to tell the story of the town and its residents. Hardback, 293 pages, all name index, place index. $50.00 plus postage
