"History of Texas, Central Texas" - originally published in 1896, by Lewis Publishing Company. The biographies of folks in Comanche, Erath, Hamilton, Bosque and Hood counties were extracted and published in two comb-bound volumes. The reprints were published and copyrighted by Marilyn Ewers. We purchased her copyrights and have scanned both volumes onto one CD-ROM. The biographies of individuals include some whole families with genealogical data. This CD is word searchable and we have added links to the individual biographies. The two volumes contain more than 640 pages.

These images were scanned to .pdf and require Adobe Reader to view. Reader is available for free from www.adobe.com. The images were digitally enhanced for the best possible quality. Because we try to preserve the books and not "break them down" during the scanning process, some of the pages may be a bit crooked. We scan using grey scale, which makes the file a bit larger, but helps to keep the text crisp. There may be an off-white background, depending on the quality of the original. Sometimes there may also be a "halo" shadow from the scan. Some of our original books were in poor condition, but if the original is readable, the CD image will be also. These are such great resources, a few blemishes should be acceptable for such old, rare books.
