Soon after the Civil War, the city of San Angelo developed around Fort Concho. The mission of this western fort was to protect transportation routes, travelers, and settlers as they moved into territory claimed by Native Americans; and the mission of San Angelo was to make money by providing goods that the military personnel wanted and needed. After Fort Concho created peace in West Texas, it ceased operations. By 1889, however, San Angelo had plenty of dedicated citizens who would create an important western city on the banks of the Concho River. Agriculture was the basis of the economy in early San Angelo, which became a financial and marketing center for a wide region of West Texas. This book presents fascinating photographs that highlight the early history of a frontier town. The story ends in the late 1920s, when the discovery of oil changed the area dramatically.

In this book, Ken Peery tells the amazing story of the coming of faith and civilization to West Texas and San Angelo. From the earliest of planting of the Gospel by early Spanish explorers in southwest America, the city came into being because of the opening of Fort Concho by the Army. Agriculture, ranching, the buffalo and finally the striking of oil all combined to grow the city. Today the Spirit flourishes in the Queen City of West Texas. The reader will be excited to trace the growth as these chapters unfold the story. Four men walk across North America from sea to sea, surviving on prickly pears, pecans and roots. Grand Canyon and the Mouth of the Colorado River discovered. First Negro graduate of West Point served at Ft. Concho. Miss Hattie's, a popular bordello, entered via a tunnel under the street with access through a bank. A retired buffalo soldier worked as a carpenter and ranch hand until he died in 1957 at the age of 107. A woman with a shotgun faced down an angry mob of soldiers. Tuberculosis patients came to San Angelo to regain their health in the dry climate. Ken Peery, retired attorney, lives in Topeka, Kansas, with his wife, Doris, of nearly 60 years. They have two sons, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. This is his second book.

First published in 2000, J. R. Edmondson's The Alamo Story: From Early History to Current Conflicts thoroughly examines the famous "Shrine of Texas Liberty" from its origin as a Spanish New World mission to its modern status. It has been lauded as the “best" and "most readable” of all historical accounts devoted to the legendary mission-fortress. The original edition has been celebrated for over twenty years for its comprehensive approach to Alamo scholarship and for presenting the famous battle in the context of both American and Mexican history. This second edition of The Alamo Story includes new information about the battle and those involved, including expanded stories on the roles of minorities and some illustrations by noted artist Mark Lemon. The book also features a new chapter on Benjamin Rush Milam's assault on San Antonio with only three hundred Texians, the battle that set the stage for the siege of the Alamo less than three months later. And there is an extensive epilogue on the present-day conflicts about the physical Alamo compound, as historic preservationists clash with political and popular opinions in San Antonio.
