For some deranged reason, Texas Highways magazine has decided to give me ---- Traces of Texas ---- a monthly Texas history column. I'm crazy excited to do it as I've always loved the magazine. In honor of this auspicious event, they're giving my readers a deeply discounted subscription offer and I thought I'd pass it on to y'all, too: $17.50 for one year and $29.50 for two years. You have to use this link. The offer expires Nov. 3: https://ssl.drgnetwork.com/ecom/THM/app/live/subscriptions?org=THM&publ=TH&key_code=JXTOTX&type=S&gift_key=J5FXGFT&fbclid=IwAR1hYa8SNahPZ5tk9nB1booXjZku5nrwBogh62UM53G3zcxZk7UHodDuXRE
As you can imagine, I'm beyond happy to be collaborating with Texas Highways, being that I've been a reader for 45 years. I'll be getting the inside back cover of each issue. The first issue with my Vintage article is the November issue and it was just published. I posted the photo/article below. As you can see, this is a photo that reader Cecilia Thompson sent in to me. I was very, very happy that she shared it and allowed Texas HIghways to publish it because it's so utterly classic in every way. These kids in Dallas have a true "Dennis the Menace" quality and you just KNOW there's a slingshot in the back pocket of at least one of them. Those cane poles, the cans of worms ... too much.
Anyway, for a year's worth of great information about what to do in Texas, where to go, all kinds of great info etc... it seems like a pretty good deal to me. I'm thrilled to be able to collaborate with the great folks at TxDot who put out the magazine. Also, if you have a great Texas history photo and you'd like to see it published, please send it to me at this email address: tracesoftxphotos@gmail.com Please include as much relevant information as you can think of.
