Early Texas Schools:

A Photographic History

"This is the story of education in Texas, the first chapter so to speak.  Like the state itself, this story is large, having many facets and characters just as diverse as the state.  It can't all be told in one sitting.  We're just telling the first part, from around 1850 to the 1930s."
