Unforgettable Texans

Bartee Haile has written This Week in Texas History for small-town and suburban newspapers throughout the Lone Star State since 1983. Thirty-four years and more than 1,700 columns later, it is the most widely read and longest-running feature of its kind. Unforgettable Texans is Bartee's fourth book for The History Press. His earlier titles include Texas Depression-Era Desperadoes, Murder Most Texan and Texas Boomtowns: A History of Blood and Oil. A fourth- or fifth-generation Texan (his ancestors were lousy record keepers!), Bartee Haile lives in the Houston area with his wife, Gerri, and not far from his son Brett and granddaughter Lila.
