Description
A transcript of excerpts related to Fort Worth from "35,000 Days in Texas" by Sam Hanna Acheson, compiled in the 1930s by Sheldon F. Gauthier for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project. The excerpts contain information about the economic development of Fort Worth, the railroad industry, newspaper industry, prohibition, and William Jennings Bryan's 1895 visit to Fort Worth. The WPA originally intended to publish a Fort Worth City Guide. This transcript was likely compiled in preparation for that guide, which was never published.
