In 1872, the MK&T Railroad crossed the Red River into Texas and created the town of Denison as a railhead for a new frontier territory. Cattle drovers soon arrived with their herds, and settlers crowded onto trains bound for Texas. This book brings to life the vibrant energy of those early years-the rowdy nightlife, memorable characters, nascent cultural institutions, investment opportunities, schools, churches, and a rapidly filling cemetery. Illustrated with a wealth of pictorial material, these pages document technological innovation, women's roles, and a rich mixture of nationalities, cultures, and races. Denison was a microcosm of post-Civil War life on the Texas frontier.
