Description
A transcript prepared in the 1930s by an unknown member of the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project. The transcript, titled "Material for Ft. Worth Guide Book" contains several book excerpts relating to Fort Worth history. The books included are "Texas Indian Troubles" by Hilary G. Bedford, "Southern and Western Guide for 1878" by L. Rock and W. I. Smith, "Gems from a Texas Quarry" by Ella Hutchins Steuart, and "Four Years on Wheels, or Life as a Presiding Elder" by Wesley Carhart. 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.
