Rick Steed and his driving companion, Wendi Pierce, set off
with one goal in mind: to travel Texas's old fort trails and
scout today's remnants of the bloody skirmishes and battles
of long ago. Historic Road Trips from Dallas/Fort Worth
provides not only a road map of day trips throughout Texas
but also a narrative history of the tiny towns, historic
markers and frontier excitement along the way. After
collecting these stories for years, Steed teamed up with
Pierce to bring to life this fascinating guidebook for
anyone who yearns to venture off the main road and discover
old Texas. Each drive begins in the Dallas/Fort Worth area
and travels a different route through the state. Travel
along and discover the site of Buffalo Hump's revenge raid
or Cynthia Ann Parker's harrowing pioneer experiences, as
well as other local lore, including the haunting of
Jefferson, Texas's Jefferson Hotel, the notorious New London
school accident and much, much more.
