great references to books for your children to enjoy. It's not
in a normal format, so it will take a bit of digging, and you need 2
windows open, one to this site, and one to Amazon ;-) ~Jube

section for researching YOUR Texas Roots. By finding
people in your family who were around when historical events took
place, you help bring history into your child's personal story.
Great impact.

Fort Tour of the
many forts in Texas.
