Big Bend: A History of the Last Texas Frontier

摘要

The Big Bend, an account of human society in one of the most rugged and remote parts of this country, is the collaborative work of the National Park Service, V.S. Department of the Interior. and the Amon Carler Museum of Western Art, Fort Worth. Prepared as a reference companion to an exhibition on the Big Bend presented by the Amon Carter with subsequent showings at a number of other Texas museums in 1975-76, the volume is intended to supply a needed interpretive narrative for the exhibition, to introduce park visitors to the human record in the Big Bend country, and to fill a considerable gap in available professional studies on the Big Bend.
