Description
A transcript of a WPA interview by Chas R. Fuller with Ada Gambrell in the 1930s. Gambrell moved with her mother and stepfather to Texas in 1867 from Guntown, Mississippi. She recalls that it took six months to arrive but since she was only three years old, she doesn't recall the trip. In her testimony she describes where in Fort Worth her and her family used to live along with several other families in the city. Gambrell also states that people started to move away but then returned when the railroad was built in 1876.
