A People, A Place (Vol. 1: The Future Great City): The Story of Abilene

Among several dozen sister communities established along the T&P, the company designated the one at Milepost 407 to be 'the future great city of West Texas'. This book presents a tale of industrious, ambitious people trying to prosper in a place with challenging climate and terrain.
