New in paperback Fort Worth's Legendary Landmarks Text by Carol Roark Photographs by Byrd Williams

". . . glamorous and glorious detail"—Texas Books in Review

"One of the most visually appealing books on Fort Worth ever produced . . ."
—Ben Huseman, Amon Carter Museum

"This highly satisfying collection should find equally receptive audiences among nostalgia buffs, architectural historians, and historic preservationists."—Books of the Southwest

Although Fort Worth bears the trappings of any major metropolitan city—shopping malls, suburbs and office towers—it is enriched by many buildings that reflect a colorful, diverse heritage shaped by the frontier, the railroad, cattle drives and ranching, oil and industry, and both the poverty of the Depression and the largesse of various benefactors.

Fort Worth's Legendary Landmarks captures the city's rich history with photos of over eighty of the city's buildings whose background and design embody periods of the city's history, but whose stories are not well known today.

The legendary landmarks of the fort that became a city demonstrate the brick-and-mortar responses generations of Fort Worth communities have made to the forces that shaped its history.

Working with a large-format view camera, BYRD WILLIAMS has photographed Fort Worth over a thirty-year period. He teaches photography at Collin County Community College. CAROL ROARK is the editor of five of the volumes in the Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey and the author of several articles on historic preservation. She is assistant manager of the Texas/Dallas History and Archives Division of the Dallas Public Library.
