Winner, Journalistic Achievement Award, Texas Historical Foundation, 2004From the simplest slab of weathered stone to the most imposing mausoleum, every marker in a Texas cemetery bears witness to a life thatin ways small or largehelped shape the history and culture of the state. Telling the stories of some of these significant lives is the purpose of this book. Within its pages, you'll meet not only the heroes of the Texas Revolution, for example, but also one of the great African American cowboys of the traildriving era (Bose Ikard) and the first woman in Texas elected to statewide office (Annie Webb Blanton).
