Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Fort Worth & TarrantCounty explores the past and present of Cowtown and its neighboring cities. The countys major city, Fort Worth, has been likened to a young hellion who has matured into an unwonted respectability. When other frontier towns dried into dust, Fort Worth dug in and survived. In three generations, the remote army post on the Trinity River grew into a major city, its growth paralleling major phases and developments in the American West. And with Fort Worth, Tarrant County grew and prospered, their identities linked by geography and commerce.Cattle, railroads, oil, aviationthese form the rich tradition of Tarrant County history, a history preserved in the many landmark structures that survive today and serve to introduce resident and visitor alike to the past. Theres the Livestock Exchange Building that symbolizes Fort Worths history as Cowtownit once held the offices of fortytwo livestock commission companies and livestock buyers. The EddlemanMcFarland House, Thistle Hill, and Arlingtons graceful Fielder House recreate the days of cattle baron mansions and high society. The sevenstory Flatiron Building downtown was one of the tallest buildings in North Texas when it was built in 1907. And the spirits of Hells Half Acre, Fort Worths notorious redlight district, still draw the attention of local residents and visitors alike.Fort Worth & TarrantCounty introduces you to the places where Tarrant County history was made. Book in hand you can visit these sites and many more. The history of buildings and sites inevitably includes the people behind them, the people who created the history. In these pages youll read about Al Hayne, who rescued people from the burning Spring Palace; or Amon Carter, who brought aviation to the city; W. T. Waggoner, the legendary cattleman who built Thistle Hill for his daughter and whose name graces an historic office building.Buildings in this guide are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, have a Texas Historical Marker, or a designation as a State Archeological Landmark.
