Book Reviews and Notices
The History of Wichita Falls. By Jonnie R. Morgan. (Wichita
Falls. 1931. Illustrations. Pp. 221. $2.00.) Miss Morgan's
study is one of the most attractively printed and bound of the
recent local histories. It traces the early settlement of Wichita
County, the growth of the city, the evolution of its government,
and various phases of social and civic life. Though its general
treatment may lean too much toward civic expansion, neverthe-
less, the book contains many biographical details. It is enriched
with some fine old photographs, broadly illustrative of the city's
life and growth.
Panhandle Lawyers. By H. C. Randolph. (Amarillo. 1931.
Frontispiece. Pp. 52.) This unusually attractive brochure, by
the Judge of the Court of Civil Appeals at Amarillo, contains
succinct biographies of fifteen men who left more than an ordinary
mark upon the legal history as well as the general life of North-
west Texas. The volume is a distinct contribution toward a his-
tory of the bar in the Panhandle of Texas, supplementing and
amplifying the pioneer work of the late Judge Thomas F. Turner.
The attractive and permanent form into which it has been placed
is due to J. O. Guleke's splendid interest in perpetuating the
history of Texas.
Frontier's Generation: The Pioneer History of Brown County
and Surrounding Territory. By Tevis Clyde Smith. (Brownwood.
1931. Illustrations. Pp. 63. $.50.) The young author of this
little volume has preserved the reminiscences of a great number
of early settlers of the section under treatment, and has thereby
created a document of original interest and distinct value. The
need of setting down the memories of intelligent pioneers, to sup-
plement scant documentary sources, should enlist the activity of
more collectors and historians. With commendable care the author
acknowledges the sources of his information.
