"During Bravo's years in office, he worked and corresponded with many
Texas and national politicians, including James Allred, Lloyd Bentsen,
Kika de la Garza, Ralph Yarborough, and, most prominently, Lyndon
Johnson. The association between Bravo and Johnson began with the
special Senate election of 1941 and is reflected in the more than fifty
letters between the two in Bravo's personal papers. In Johnson's 1948
Senate runoff against Coke Stevenson, voting irregularities were
alleged in Zapata County when the election returns from Precinct No. 3
were reported missing. Quezada analyzes the Bravo papers for any
evidence that Bravo and Johnson had arranged the disappearance and
offers possible alternative explanations." $28.00

"Ferris merited fame even before he came to Texas in 1837. While
working as a trapper and fur trader in the Rocky Mountains for six
years, Ferris kept a diary of his adventures. This journal, the classic
Life in the Rocky Mountains, accompanied by a map which he drew from
memory, provided a unique and valuable picture of trapper and Indian
life in the 1830s. Ferris also gave the public its first written
description of Yellowstone's amazing geysers. As a businessman seeking
to become a landowner, fur trader Ferris followed his brother Charles
to Texas the year after the Texas Revolution. He became the official
surveyor for Nacogdoches County, which then included much of northeast
Texas west to the Trinity River. Although his brother returned to their
hometown of Buffalo, New York, Warren Ferris spent another thirty-five
years of his eventful life in Texas." $25.00
