Title: Sale of county history books to begin Author: Staff Writer Publisher: Lampasas Dispatch Record Date: 2/3/09 The Lampasas County Museum Foundation has announced that Keystone Square Museum's photographic history, "Lampasas County," is slated to be released on Feb. 16. The price will be $21.99 plus tax. "Lampasas County," at 128 pages, includes over 200 photographs with captions. It is being published by Arcadia Publishing in their Images of America series. Arcadia is the leading local history publisher in the U.S., with over 4,000 titles in print. Nine chapters, such as "Old Town Lampasas," "County Life," "The Badgers, the Hornets and the Eagles," "Spreading the Word," and "Cowboys and Crops" give the flavor of Lampasas County from about 1856 through just after the Mother's Day flood of 1957. The authors made an effort to include as many of the smaller communities and photographs as possible. The museum plans a publication party near the book's release date, and details will be available in the future.
Synopsis
About an hour's drive northwest of Austin, Lampasas County is located in the center of the state of Texas, on the northern edge of the Hill Country. Native Americans were the first to discover the area, and they told settlers about the natural sulfur springs there. In the 1850s, Moses Hughes and his ailing wife, Hannah, traveled to the region to drink and bathe in the medicinal waters of the springs. The sulfur cured Hannah, and word traveled quickly. In 1856, Lampasas County was created. The Santa Fe Railroad completed its line from Galveston to the county seat in 1882, and with hotels and bathhouses booming, Lampasas became known as the "Saratoga of the South." In towns such as Lometa and Kempner, ranchers raised goats and sheep for mohair and wool and cattle for beef. Though fires and floods struck the county on several occasions, Lampasas soldiered on and continues to thrive today., About an hour s drive northwest of Austin, Lampasas County is located in the center of the state of Texas, on the northern edge of the Hill Country.
