Talking about Texas women ranchers--and legends-- for the Milam County Historical Society.
Keeping alive their stories... it's what we do.
In the spirit of keeping alive the names and stories of those who’ve gone before, few do so as well or as intensely as the “Daughters” groups, i.e., Daughters of the Texas Republic (DTR) and Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). With great deliberation these women run down the facts and up lift their ancestors, while preserving treasured artifacts. Many of us who write draw from their notes and their stories.
So, I considered it quite an honor when a Houston area chapter of the DAR invited me to talk about “Outstanding Women in Texas History” for their year-end program. The May 5 2012 event will be at Bay Oaks Country Club in Clear Lake City.
With some writing schedules and deadlines met, I’m accepting invites to talk about “Texas Dames” and other assorted “Texana” stories, much as I’ve been invited to do for a Houston chapter of the DAR.
