Book Review:  1907

By appointment

Based on my own wide-ranging research, we will be discussing Dallas in 1907.  Highland Park was just a twinkle in the developer’s eye; Neiman Marcus would have it’s opening day; prostitution and gambling were legal if you knew the right address; no plane had flown through the Dallas sky, but you would have seen a few early automobiles here and there.

Book Review:  Zephyr and Sarah

Zephyr Wright was a major player in the Civil Rights movement but you may not have ever heard her name.  She was the African American cook who had the ear of LBJ behind the scenes.  Many of her famous recipes are found in cookbooks attributed to Ladybird Johnson.  Sarah T Hughes was a trailblazing lawyer and judge who was specifically requested by Lyndon B Johnson for his swearing in.  Find out more about their radical lives.
