Description

San Angelo: San Angelo Standard-Times, 1952., 1952. First edition. First edition. 8vo. Cloth, 352 pp., illus., 4 maps & diagram of the fort. Designed and produced by Carl Hertzog. Illus. by H.D. Bugbee. Maps by Jose Cisneros. A truly great history of the West Texas frontier. "Fort Concho was not only the center of significant events; it was the geographic and strategic hinge upon which history swung. From this vital pivot swung the great campaigns that swept the Comanches off the southern plains, that blocked at last the renegade Apaches along the Mexican border, and that extended a generally protective shield across the heart of Texas...by the very magnitude of its stage and the vital movements of its time, it was destined to occupy a place in history."--J. Evetts Haley. "This is one of the best books about any of the vital string of federal forts established in West Texas to tame the frontier."--John H. Jenkins. A "must" for any Texana or Indian Wars collection. Tiny bump to upper fore-corners, else a fine copy. Dust jacket shows light wear to edges. Signed by Carl Hertzog.
