Description
Trade ReviewThe author, John McCarty, newsman and publisher of Amarillo, has sought sources far and wide, and he has used them with great skill. . . . It is good that the story of Old Tascosa has been saved while the sources are fresh, good that the whole job has been done by the Southwest."" - Walter Prescott Webb,
Dallas Morning News""Tascosa may not have been the toughest of the old-time cow towns, but it was tough enough. . . . McCarty . . . has done a conscientious job in reconstructing the gaudy days of Tascosa. . . . A solid contribution to Southwestern history. A workmanlike performance."" -
New York Herald Tribune""Every lover of the Old West, every reader of Western history has at times wished in vain for a full and readable account of Tascosa, one time cow town capital of the Texas Panhandle. . . . The author's account of the death throes of Tascosa, 'How a Town Dies,' is perhaps our best account of a typical tragedy of the plains."" - Stanley Vestal,
Chicago Sunday Tribune""A lively book, which gives you what seems an authentic picture of a life which, curiously, appears to have been just about the way it is in the horse operas.
