This remarkable collection of 140 photographs, originally published in 1901, documents the homes and businesses of leading citizens of Denison, Texas, at the end of the nineteenth century. In these pages, today's readers can glimpse the surprisingly sophisticated world created by their great-grandparents as the frontier passed into history. The North Texas town of Denison was founded by the MK&T Railroad as it built south across Red River in 1872. In three decades, the small cluster of tents and shacks grew into a booming community eager to attract new industries. Denison's Commercial Club asked real estate dealer Frank Milton Robinson to assemble a pictorial book to convince prospective settlers and investors of the town's glowing future. The book INDUSTRIAL DENISON succeeded in doing just that. Soon the volume was out of print, remaining hard to find for over a century. Now Dr. Mavis Anne Bryant has prepared a new edition of the book. She identifies long-forgotten local landmarks and provides an introduction, based on extensive research, that traces Robinson's life. Dr. Bryant has also written three companion books that explore the lives of people whose homes and businesses are depicted in INDUSTRIAL DENISON. The companion books are THE DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY: DENISON, TEXAS, IN 1900; HEALTH AND DEATH: DENISON, TEXAS, IN 1900; and LAND, MONEY, LAW, TYCOONS: DENISON, TEXAS, IN 1900.
