Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas.

This book, representative of many of the Biographical sketch books done in the late 19th century, is a set of 1740 Biographical sketches on many early Texas families.  It is liberally illustrated with photographs and finely executed steele engravings of some of the men and women whose lives are sold in this volume.  Many of the families have their genealogies carried well back into the mid-1700’s.
