Summary |
"In 1873, Richardson, Texas was nothing more than a lone railroad depot surrounded by 121 acres of mostly bald prairie that the Houston & Texas Central Railway had recently obtained from two local landowners. Today it is one of the biggest small cities in Texas, covering 28.6 square miles, with a population of over 120,000 people living in what has come to be known as the "Telecom Corridor." In this volume, Rural Roots. historian Steven R. Butler, whose own roots in Richardson reach back to the first decade of the twentieth century, tells the "warts-and-all" story of Richardson from 1841, when Anglo-American settlers began to arrive in the area, to 1924, the year before the town officially became a city." --Amazon |
