2-83. Zumwalt, Oscar Abraham. "Brief History of Columbus." First published in
Columbus Texas, 1935, pp. 1-8. Reprinted with a revised supplementary section
in Naylor's Epic Century Magazine, October 1936, pp. 65-68. Reprinted in
abridged form in Mary Farrar Holland, Stories That Have Been Told, 1948, pp.
89-92. Reprinted with annotations by William Mark Stein in Nesbitt Memorial
Library Journal, volume 4, number 1, January 1994. A generally unreliable, very
cursory look at the history of Columbus, mostly based on the recollections of
William B. Dewees as they appeared in Letters From an Early Settler of Texas,
and on a 1913 newspaper article. This was the first widely-read article that deals
with Colorado County history, and as such is singularly important. It is especially
unfortunate that so much of the article is nonsense, for it is the cornerstone of
the sort of promotional history purveyed by the Columbus Area Chamber of
Commerce.
2-84. Zumwalt, Oscar Abraham. "The Columbus Opera House." First published in
Columbus Texas, 1935, pp. 9-11. Reprinted in greatly abridged form in Mary
Farrar Holland, Stories That Have Been Told, 1948, pp. 93-94. Tremendously
confused, the source of all the myths about the Stafford Opera House, but with
one scrap of information found nowhere else. Zumwalt quotes advertisements
for upcoming shows from the March 7, 1889 edition of the Colorado Citizen. No
copy of that edition is now extant, so the information cannot be verified.
However, since the advertisements are seemingly quoted, and since they are
plausible, it may be assumed that the information they convey is correct.
