THE TOWN OF BEXAR (near present-day Somerset, Texas), developed on the Kinney Ranch in South Bexar County beginning in the 1860s. The town was called "La Colorada" by its many Mexican miners who settled there.St. Patrick's Church was established on the ranch and served as the Catholic mission to Atascosa and Frio Counties. With the arrival of the Artesian Belt Railroad, the town of Bexar declined as its population moved two miles east to Somerset. Many of the early families of Atascosa and South Bexar Counties are contained among this book's nearly 10,000 entries, including the Ruiz, Herrera, Navarro, Cotulla, Lytle, Casias, Kinney, Hayden, Barker and Vara. This volume contains the complete records of St. Patrick's Church, plus a modern cemetery survey of its cemetery, an 1876 mission census of Atascosa County and a detailed history of the community.

In its heyday, Thurber was home to coal miners and brick plant workers from Italy, Poland, and as many as fourteen other European nations, not to mention the many Mexican immigrants who came to the area. In this, her master’s thesis, Mary Jane Gentry, who started the first grade in Thurber and graduated as valedictorian of its high school in 1930, records first-hand memories of the town’s vibrant charm. Now edited and with an introduction by T. Lindsay Baker, Gentry’s lively history of the rise and decline of a Texas coal town provides a unique window into a bygone era. Her narrative of rancorous labor disputes, corporate machinations, and the eventual shuttering of the plants and virtual disappearance of the once-thriving town will allow Thurber to live again, if only in the minds of her readers.

“[A] linguist . . . takes readers on a tour across the state, using names and language to tell its history.” ―Alcalde Was Gasoline, Texas, named in honor of a gas station? Nope, but the name does honor the town’s original claim to fame: a gasoline-powered cotton gin. Is Paris, Texas, a reference to Paris, France? Yes: Thomas Poteet, who donated land for the town site, thought it would be an improvement over “Pin Hook,” the original name of the Lamar County seat. Ding Dong’s story has a nice ring to it; the name was derived from two store owners named Bell, who lived in Bell County, of course. Tracing the turning points, fascinating characters, and cultural crossroads that shaped Texas history, Texas Place Names provides the colorful stories behind these and more than three thousand other county, city, and community names. Drawing on in-depth research to present the facts behind the folklore, linguist Edward Callary also clarifies pronunciations (it’s NAY-chis for Neches, referring to a Caddoan people whose name was attached to the Neches River during a Spanish expedition). A great resource for road trippers and historians alike, Texas Place Names alphabetically charts centuries of humanity through the enduring words (and, occasionally, the fateful spelling gaffes) left behind by men and women from all walks of life. “[A] quite useful book.” ―Austin American-Statesman
