Did you know that the same day Fort Worth was mourning the death of beloved African American Gooseneck Bill McDonald, Dallas was experiencing a series of bombings in black neighborhoods? Or that Fort Worth almost got the largest statue to Robert E. Lee ever put up anywhere, sculpted by the same massive talent that created Mount Rushmore? Or that Fort Worth was once the candy-making capital of the Southwest and gave Hershey, Pennsylvania, a good run for its money as the sweet spot of the nation? A remarkable number of national figures have made a splash in Fort Worth, including Theodore Roosevelt while he was President; Vernon Castle, the Dance King; Dr. H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer; Harry Houdini, the escape artist; and Texas Guinan, star of the vaudeville stage and the big screen. Fort Worth Stories is illustrated with 50 photographs and drawings, many of them never before published. This collection of stories will appeal to all who appreciate the Cowtown city. |

| fort worth comofest: Fort Worth: The Civilized West Caleb Pirtle III, 1980-09-10 “Prologue It was nothing but a dusty, erratic river— cursed, some called it— that marked the jumping-off place of civilization. Beyond it, the land stretched under a warm sun, and those that basked in it were horny-toads, buffalo and small bands of roaming Indians. When you got right down to it, it didn’t have that much to offer. And yet, it was free land— and those in the east and the south and the north were cramping with the pangs of hunger for land, for money, for space, for a new life, for an empire they could carve and call their own. To them, the land stretched limitless as the possibilities they dreamed. And so they came to the Texas prairie. It wasn’t easy in the beginning. The Indians had first claim. But that had never really held back the flow of people across the continent. The sporadic clashes of cultures brought the military, and the fort they built eventually became a village—Fort Worth. By 1859, the townspeople were talking of courthouses and elections. The trappings of civilization had found their way into the southwest. In some ways, it was a harsh land. But if it[…]”“The town was actually beginning to be civilized. That early frontier spirit still existed— but teas and cake walks, churches, schools and skyscrapers lived alongside city bootleggers and marshals and Hell’s Half Acre. Then came oil— Texas-black and thick, gushing out of the land— at Ranger and Burkburnett and Desdemona. The oil poured out of the west Texas boomtowns into Fort Worth where railroads and transportation sat waiting, where banks and businessmen could make deals across drinks and across country. The excitement fit right into the spirit of the frontier town. The boom did more than turn over a fast buck and a few fortunes. It gave impetus to the city itself. Airports sprouted where cattle had grazed, paved streets where the cowboys had whistled the dogies along. Fort Worth had become an honest-to-god city, launched into the twentieth century but carved from a backbone of hide and horn.

| fort worth comofest: Literary Fort Worth Judy Alter, 2002 Aware that some may see the title of this volume as an oxymoron, James Ward Lee argues in his Argumentative Introduction that for more than a century Fort Worth writers have written well about a city too often dismissed as a semi-rural cow town. Writers have celebrated its world of cattle and oil, to be sure, but many have seen other sides of Fort Worth--the country club set, the literati, the artists and artisans, the musicians, the intellectuals, and the whole minority sub-culture that has given a cosmopolitan tone to the Queen City of the Prairies. Fort Worth is in many ways the most typical of Texas cities--proud of its slogan of Cowtown and Culture. People mingle as easily at the new Bass Hall, with its world-class visiting entertainers and the Van Cliburn Piano Competition, as they do at the White Elephant Saloon or the Cowtown Coliseum. They visit a museum complex unrivalled anywhere in the world for a city Fort Worth's size, and they attend the Southwest Exposition and Livestock Show. Lee and Judy Alter, both Fort Worth residents and well-known writers themselves, found passages in novels, short stories, and poetry that caught the city's atmosphere and odd bits of its history. And they found that some of the best writing done about Cowtown is journalistic rather than what is usually considered literary. There are articles by current and former members of the staff of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and one particularly poignant piece about the last day of the old Fort Worth Press. Literary Fort Worth is a literary smorgasbord, with something to appeal to almost any reader's taste. And literary? You bet! |

Selcer, the preeminent historian of Fort Worth. The first book was a baker’s dozen of some curious, quirky, and forgotten people from Fort Worth’s past. This book continues the theme of human-interest stories of twenty-five more characters pulled from Fort Worth history. There are Blacks and whites, men and women, criminals and crime-fighters, showgirls and preachers, musicians and football stars. Some, like Frank James, were already famous when they came to Fort Worth. Others, like “Stutterin’ Sam” Dowell, were “discovered” here before going on to fame and fortune on the national stage. How about a character who might have been the inspiration for detective Nancy Drew? Or a female reporter who was the first American to score an interview with the president of Mexico? How about a husband-wife pair who might have been the first African American “power couple”? Or an abortion doctor convicted at trial in Fort Worth in 1913? These and more are covered in the pages of Fort Worth Characters 2. |
