Description
The use of a wealth of primary sources, Richard Selcer dispels several enduring myths, for example the improper belief that Camp Bowie trained only white soldiers, and the spurious claim that Fort Worth managed to steer clear of the racial violence that plagued other American cities in the twentieth century. Selcer arrives at some surprisingly frank conclusions so they can challenge current politically correct notions.
“Selcer does a great job of exploring little-known history about the military, education, sports, and even some social life and organizations.”—Bob Ray Sanders, creator of Calvin Littlejohn: Portrait of a Community in Black and White
