Fort Worth between the World Wars (Summerfield G. Roberts Texas History Series)

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Rich humanizes the story of a city’s journey through the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, providing more than a cursory glance at how various groups fared in these two decades. Chapters on the experiences of women and African Americans as well as on crime, vice, and entertainment are given attention equal to the city’s economic and political affairs. All of this is enriched by his attentiveness  to detail and ability to mine sources such as newspapers, oral histories, censuses, police department reports, Chamber of Commerce data, and city council minutes. The result is a rich narrative that enhances both our understanding of Fort Worth’s past and of urban development in the Southwest.”—Southwestern Historical Quarterly
