A Trip to Texas In 1835: Collecting Rare Texas History Books with Dr. Stephen Hardin

Written By Michelle M Haas

Two book nerds in conversation about a seldom seen bit of Texana. Dr. Stephen Hardin, Texas historian and lifelong history book collector, brought some history treasures to the studio for show and tell. The first of these, A Trip To The West and Texas (Amos Parker, 1835) is a true rarity. Many thanks to Dr. Hardin for sharing some of beloved books with us.
