Tom Hoover Writes Novel
i
Set In 17th Century India
Tom Hoover, a Coleman
County native and former
resident, is the author of
“Moghul”, a novel publish-
ed this month by Double-
day and Co. Inc. of New
York. 1,
Hoover has written two
non-fiction books, but this
is his first published non-
fiction effort. “Moghul" is
the story of 17th century
India based on the true
story of Captain William
Hawkins, one of the sea-
pen sent by the East India
Co. of London to open
trade with India. In his
foreword, Hoover explains
to the reader that the
elements of the story arc
“all by and large fictional
re-creations of actual ev-
ents, practices, people-
drawn from diaries of 17th
century European travel-
ers and from Indian histor-
ical materials."
At the end of the book,
the author explains the
relation of some of the
fictional characters to their
real-life counterparts, and
specifies some of his histor-
ical sources. Also, a gloss-
ary of Indian terms is
included.
Doubleday is promoting
the book extensively, and
it ia expected to be a
best-seller. In the May
8,1983 issue of the New
York Times Book Review,
THOMAS HOOVER
the novel is advertised in a
two-page spread, lavishly
illustrated, describing it as
an “epic adventure in hist-
ory's exotic civilization.”
The brief review on the
book jaeket states “The

then enrolled at the Uni-

where he attained both a
Bachelor and Masters de-
gree in science. He earned
his doctorate at age 22
from Texas A & M Univer-
sity in Oceanography.
While winding up stud-
ies at A&M, he was strick-

In good health again, he
accepted a job doing scien-

ported the human race to

Spiderweb Railroad

Dvain, Texas Historical
Commission
In 1903 when Sam A.
Robertson, a construction
engineer, was building the
railroad from Robstown to
Brownsville, he bought
10,000 acres to begin land
development, founded the
town of San Benito, and
began building an irriga-
tion system for the hun-
community for a citrus
producing area, was the
only town that ever enjoy-
ed a regular station on the
Spiderweb. By 1924 the
line was taken over by the
Missouri Pacific, but the
little railroad, whose track
never extended beyond
128 miles, had served an
important role of opening
the rich Rio Grande Valley
dreds of produce farms £to worldwide markets
being developed by farm
ers from the East and
Midwest. The new fron-
tier, which was covered in
cactus and mesquite, had
to be cleared with axe and
machete. Robertson's irri-
gation system brought
water to the fertile soil.
Robertson realized that
farmers were forced to
rely on horses, mules, and
dirt roada to get their
produce to railroad*. In
The Texas Historical
Commission has placed
three Official Texas His-
torical Markers honoring
the significant railroad on
Farm Road 1016, 3.2 miles
south of Mission; at the
site of the former railroad
station off Farm Road
1015, 1/8 mile north of US
281 in Progreso; and at US
77 Loop and Texas 345 in
San Benito. As the state
agency for historic preser-
.1912 he decided to take the * vation, the Texas Histori-
railroad to the farmers and cal Commission provides
began construction of the
San Benito and Rio Grande
Valley Railroad. Soon all
the spurs and intricate net-
work of lines became
known as the Spiderweb
Railroad. Making two
round trips daily at a grand
speed of 16 miles pec hour,
the train picked up paasen-
gers and freight. Many
farmers built tiny loading
platforms beside the track,
others merely flagged the
engineer to take on a few
bushels of produce, or per-
sonally board the, train,
which was also called the
"Galloping Goose” for the
frequency with which it
jumped the track. The
