En savoir plus sur le livre

Set against the backdrop of the Texas frontier, this book explores the rich history of Del Rio, from its origins as a waystation along the San Antonio-El Paso Road to its emergence as the Wool and Mohair Capital of the World. It captures the essence of the region through tales of the U.S. Army's Camel Corps, influential radio stations of the 1930s, and the involvement of U-2 spy planes during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The narrative also highlights the Italian Colony of West Texas and significant civil rights cases, painting a vivid picture of Del Rio's impact on both local and global stages.
