Parks for Texas
Enduring Landscapes of the New Deal
BY JAMES WRIGHT TEEL
State parks across Texas offer a world of
opportunities for recreation and education.
Yet few park visitors or park managers know
the remarkable story of how this magnificent
state park system came into being during the
depths of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
Drawing on archival records and examining
especially the political context of the New
Deal, Steely here provides the first compre-
hensive history of the founding and building
of the Texas state park system, focusing in
detail on the activities of the Civilian
Conservation Corps.

'These historic photos preserve the "interim"
generation of Comanches, including Quanah
Parker and two of his an ,n a
wives, who endured ua e sa oA
reservation life and n "a iuf ni
forced moves to
individual allotments
of farm and ranch land.
Yet the images show
not a defeated but a
resilient people who
have held on to many
of the old ways while adopting enough of
Anglo culture to survive. Noycs's historical
introduction provides context for the photos,
which he also describes in detailed captions. A
few images of Anglo settlers and towns
complete the picture of life in Indian llrritory
at this moment of change.
