Fort Worth, Texas, That's My Town!: A Young People's History - Richard F. Selcer - Bog

"This is the first time since 1969 that Fort Worth kids have had a history book written for them.

The 20 years and more of research that went into the writing also incorporates the latest historiography. An integral part of the book are the wealth of illustrations.

The result is the story of Fort Worth told equally in words and illustrations"--
