Stephen F. Austin State University opened its doors in 1923, and its administrators instituted intercollegiate athletics almost immediately. Over the next eight decades, the Lumberjacks and Ladyjacks--team names derived from the area's predominant forest products industries--participated successfully in the Lone Star, Gulf Star, and Southland Conferences. Such outstanding Lumberjacks as James Silas, Mark Moseley, and Jeremiah Trotter have even gone on to successful careers in the NBA and NFL. This book offers readers a retrospective look at the success of SFA's athletic programs, as well as the players, coaches, and fans that led them to victory.

Nacogdoches derives its name from the Caddo tribe that once lived in central East Texas along Banita and LaNana Creeks. Franciscan father Antonio Jesus de Margil established a mission for the Caddo people there in 1716. In 1779, Antonio Gil Y’Barbo founded the puebla of Nacogdoches and built the Stone House, or Stone Fort, the town’s most enduring symbol of European influence. Nacogdoches served as headquarters for one of three administrative districts in Texas under Mexican authority and played a significant role in the Texas Revolution before stabilizing into a predominately rural and agricultural society. Two notable 20th-century developments―the selection of Nacogdoches as the home of Stephen F. Austin State University and the founding of Texas Farm Products, the city’s first major industry―changed the community into a regional education, medical, and commercial center.

This short book traces the history of Nacogdoches’s Old Stone Fort, built in 1779 and torn down in 1902, began as a trading center but also served as a jail, capitol of governments, courthouse, lodge hall, meeting place, and saloon. A replica was reconstructed using the original materials, on the grounds of Stephen E Austin State University, during the Texas Centennial.

"I shall never surrender or retreat - victory or death". Meet the twenty-six year old lawyer who commanded Texas' most famous garrison for thirteen incredible days. Travis is the first scholarly biography of the legendary commander, William Barret Travis. Historian Archie P. McDonald treats his subject not merely as a god-like hero, but as the complete human being that he was. The result is an in-depth study which searches for an understanding of Travis' character and multifaceted personality. The result is an exciting, entertaining, but above all contemplative analysis of Travis and the Texas War of Independence. Travis was published originally in 1977 by Pemberton Press. This new edition features a fresh appraisal of the Alamo Commander. --- from book's back cover
