A Twentieth Century History of Southwest Texas

By William Barret Travis
Originally published 1907, Lewis Publishing Co., 1313 pages

Around the turn of the last century the Lewis Publishing Company of New York City perfected a formula for presenting and preserving the genealogies/biographies of eminent or successful citizens throughout much of the Eastern half of the United States. The Lewis technique was to employ a credible authority, who would himself supervise a stable of writers and editors, in the task of garnering and editing biographical/genealogical material, including photographs, from hundreds of subjects whose lives and family histories fell within the geographical range of a particular publishing project, be it local, statewide, or regional. Lewis Publishing Company would eventually publish numerous multi-volume mugbooks (so-called because of their subjects' portraits).

Searchable! How many hard copy books can do that?

About the CDs: Genealogy has become my full-time hobby and I know how hard it is (and expensive!) to get your hands on these rare books. Putting them in electronic format allows me to offer them at a lower price. It also makes it more convenient to print only the pages needed for your family history, scrapbooks, etc.

Because these are scanned images, pages aren't always aligned perfectly straight. This, however, does not interfere with the readability. Images have varying degrees of clarity and are not print quality. Books are sold for the content, and should not be relied on for quality pictures. In cases where you would have to rotate the book to view pictures, I have done this for you.

All CDs sold are public domain documents and no copyright violations are made by providing this book on CD. 

Requirements: You will need the free PDF viewer, Adobe Acrobat Reader (5.0 or above). A link is provided on each CD for those of you who do not already have it.
Payment: PayPal.
Shipping: Each ships in a hard plastic CD case and a bubble-lined envelope. 

See below for pricing.

Insurance: Optional. I can not be responsible for items damaged/lost during shipping.
Terms: Payment must be received within 10 days to prevent a UPI (unpaid item filing).
Feedback: I leave positive feedback for all successful auctions. 
Return Policy: Should you damage (scratch, break) your CD I will replace after returned. Item must be returned within 30 days of auction ending. Limited to one exchange per auction.
