Item A History of Bosque County, Texas(San Marcos Record Press, 1954-01) Pool, William C.No abstract prepared.Item "A Superior Kind of Working Woman": The Contested Meaning of Vocational Education for Girls in Progressive Era Chicago(Cambridge University Press, 2021-07) Oram, RubyProgressive Era school officials transformed public education in American cities by teaching male students trades like foundry, carpentry, and mechanics in classrooms outfitted like factories. Historians have demonstrated how this “vocational education movement” was championed by male administrators and business leaders anxious to train the next generation of expert tradesmen. But women also hoped vocational education could prepare female students for industrial careers. In the early twentieth century, members of the National Women’s Trade Union League demanded that public schools open trade programs to female students and teach future working women the history of capitalism and the philosophy of collective bargaining. Their ambitious goals were tempered by some middle-class reformers and club women who argued vocational programs should also prepare female students for homemaking and motherhood. This article uses Chicago as a case study to explore how Progressive Era women competed and collaborated to reform vocational education for girls, and how female students responded to new school programs designed to prepare them for work both in and outside the home.Item Alabama and the Texas Revolution(Texas State Historical Association, 1947-01) Elliott, ClaudeNo abstract prepared.Item Beacon on the Hill: Southwest Texas State University, 1903-1978(Southwest Texas State University, 1979-01) Brown, Ronald C.No abstract prepared.Item Bexar: Profile of a Tejano Community, 1820-1832(Texas State Historical Association, 1985-07) Teja, Jesus F. de la; Wheat, JohnNo abstract prepared.Item Discovering the Tejano Community in "Early" Texas(Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, 1998-01) Teja, Jesus F. de laNo abstract prepared.Item Fundamentalism(New York University Press, 2002-01) Renold, Leah M.We are at war, declares an article in the "New York Times" published shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center. The author, Andrew Sullivan, argues that we are in a religious war, a war that threatens our very existence. Not only our lives, but also our souls are at stake. Who is the enemy? It is not Islam. It is a specific form of Islam called fundamentalism. In his essay Sullivan argues that fundamentalism constitutes a large section of Islam. The article explains that fundamentalism has ancient roots and has attracted thousands of adherents for centuries from different religious faiths, including Christianity and Judaism.Item Gandhi: Patron Saint of the Industrialist(South Asia Institute at University of Texas at Austin, 1994-05) Renold, Leah M.For over a quarter of a century Mohandas K.

Beginning with the early history of the Texas Hill Country and featuring geographical determinism as a central theme, the authors bring the story of the making of a United States President from his ancestral heritage in the Pedernales River valley of Blanco County through his boyhood and school days in and near Johnson City, to his student years at Southwest Texas State College, and through his first years as a teacher in the public schools of Texas. While this is doubtless a story that will he told many times in the years to come, it is essential that a part of the total contribution be made by Texans who understand and appreciate the forces of geography and sectionalism that loom large in the complex character of Lyndon Baines Johnson.Item Notes and Documents: A Short History of the General Land Office Seals(Texas State Historical Association, 1987-01) Teja, Jesus F. de laNo abstract prepared.Item Quieting Title to Spanish and Mexican Land Grants in the Trans-Nueces: The Bourland and Miller Commission, 1850- 1852(Texas State Historical Association, 1992-04) Greaser, Galen D.; Teja, Jesus F. de laNo abstract prepared.Item Ramon de Murillo's Plan for the Reform of New Spain's Frontier Defenses(Texas State Historical Association, 2004-04) Teja, Jesus F. de laNo abstract prepared.Item Spanish Presidial Administration as Exemplified by the Inspection of Pedro de Rivera, 1724-1728(1938-06) Murphy, RettaNo abstract prepared.Item Tejanos, Chicanos and Mexicanos: A Partially Annotated, Historical Bibliography for Texas Public School Teachers(Southwest Texas State University, 1974-01) Wilson, James A.No abstract prepared.Item Texas: Wilderness to Space Age(Naylor Company, 1962-01) Pool, William C.; Elliott, Claude; Raley, Lucile WilliamsonThis textbook comprises a history of Texas written for the junior high school reader.
