Reprint edition of the first volume of The Texas Almanac (1857 - 1873), offers first hand accounts of Texas statehood history. Sam Houston read the Texas Almanac. More than a century later Governor John Connally wrote of the 1966-67 edition that it reflected "a true picture of Texas." That faithful reflection of a vast region, its resources and people, for a hundred years and longer has made the Texas Almanac the greatest influence on Texas of any book ever written and published in the state. The original Texas Almanac was published by Willard Richardson in Galveston, Texas, from 1857 to 1873. This volume was conceived by Robert D. Davis (one half of the founding Davis Bros Printing Co in Waco TX) in 1967. The aim was to include those articles of significance to the general sweep of Texas history.
