From the Preface:  “Albert Tucker's detailed study of education on the West Texas frontier covers a 60-year period of history…His subject is the schools in particular—schools long ago abandoned…little more than bare ruins today. Professor Tucker brings them back to life…[and] anyone who reads this account will gain an unforgettable picture of this region and time and likely be forever marked by the romance attached to it.”  A labor of love by a researcher who adored his subject. The book contains maps, dozens of rare and original images, complete tables, and a thorough index.
