The Library of Congress (LOC) in Washington, DC, granted Angelo State University $69,999 to fund a project that will create information resources focusing on history for K-12 schools and academic programs. Angelo State will use the grant to fund “All History is Local: Celebrating the People of West Texas.” Faculty and students in disciplines related to arts and humanities, such as history and political science, will work together to combine LOC digital archives with Angelo State’s collections to create teaching and learning materials, including stories and an interactive map. The resulting digital resources will feature the [End Page 454] lived experiences of communities of color, specifically incorporating national and global themes and stories into West Texas’ cultural narrative. It is intended that the project will facilitate lesson-planning by helping teachers incorporate digital primary source materials into their curriculum. Angelo State students and faculty assisting with the project will also host an outreach event and workshop to support K-12 teachers and faculty who teach courses in Angelo State’s ethnic studies minor.

Book Notes

Frederick W. Gooding Jr., Sylviane Ngandu-Kalenga Greensword, and [End Page 456] Marcellis R. Perkins have published A History to Remember: TCU in Purple, White, and Black with TCU Press (2023). TCU celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2023, and this volume of essays (written by the three authors listed on the title page) reviews the racial aspects of the institution’s history in an effort to promote ”racial healing” (p. xiii). Readers will enjoy eight profusely illustrated chapters spanning the century and a half of TCU’s operations, as well as seven appendices that contain related primary material. Substantial annotations will guide interested readers in further exploration of any of the engaging topics discussed in this work, which helps to complete the telling of TCU’s history.

If you have not already visited the site, or even if you have, you need to read A History of the Waco Mammoth Site: In Pursuit of a National Monument, by Calvin B. Smith and David O. Lintz (Waco: 1845Books, 2023). Published under an imprint of Baylor University Press, with funding from the F. M. and Gloria Young Foundation, this colorful work provides information on mammoths around the word and how they were uncovered in Central Texas. The latter is a tale of almost four decades of hard work, capped by the site being designated as a national monument in 2015. Visitors today will see engaging displays focusing on about two dozen mammoths who were overwhelmed by a flood, as well as the remains of a variety of other animals found there. Within the context of the history of national monuments, this is a unique story that deserved to be told.

Anne Elise Urrutia tells the story of her great-grandfather, Aureliano Urrutia, and the beautiful garden he built in Miraflores: San Antonio’s Mexican Garden of Memory (Trinity University Press, 2022). Fleeing the Mexican Revolution in 1914, the Mexico City physician settled in San Antonio, where he settled close to modern-day Brackenridge Park. He employed gardeners and many artists and artisans to create a landscape of Mexican plants and artwork, as well as some that reflected the influence of European culture. The remarkable estate deteriorated long ago, but his great-granddaughter used many sources to produce this moving memorial to the doctor’s beloved creation. The result is of course a compelling story, but it is also a good history of cultural persistence and synthesis in San Antonio during the twentieth century.
