“What a novel and
productive idea to reprint the 1936 Texas Almanac. It's an
invaluable source of hard-to-get historical facts and statistics, fascinating
odds and ends, and a delightful reminiscence."
Darwin Payne,
author of many books on Texas, including Big D: Triumphs and Troubles
"For nearly 150 years,
the Texas Almanac has provided a detailed portrait of the state - its
geography, population, industry, and commerce. But the 1936 Almanac
was special, the largest to that date, celebrating the state's 100th year of
independence. SMU's William P. Clements for Southwest Studies has rendered
a great service to all students of Texas history -- both professional and
amateur -- by republishing this valuable and rare book.

"The 1936 Almanac
offers today's reader the opportunity to visit the state as it was before the
enormous post-World War II boom that linked its widely separated communities by
interstate highways and jet airplanes and filled its cotton fields with homes
and schools. It was a different time and place, and the Almanac
gives us a sense of what these differences were.
