If These Walls
Could Speak
Historic Forts of Texas
Paintings by J. U. Salvant
Text by Robert M. Utley
"Artist and writer have both
sought to breathe life back into
the old walls-to recreate not
just buildings but the spirit of
the times, so that the reader
will go away with impressions
of the way of life to which the
buildings stand as silent
witnesses. The authors have
succeeded admirably."
