Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History and Directory of Fort Worth: Giving an Account of Its Early Settlers, Founders and Growth; Also a History of Its Leading Business and Professional Colored Population and Their Advancements, in a Moral, Intellectual, Social, Business and Financial Way
While we strive to write a book on our race, yet it would be incomplete without mention of the great early pioneers who laid its foundation so well. We are indebted to large numbers of both colors who so kindly and patiently gave us our information direct as they saw and knew it from 1850 to the present. We are very sorry to state that a few worthy colored businesses of our city are not mentioned, for the reason they could not at present decide to pay a small amount to come in; yet they are worthy and sacredly reliable.
