Letters from Alice
Down through the ages there have been countless men and women who have lived intelligent and courageous lives that didn’t even make a footnote in the history books. Such a woman is the subject of this anthology. Women like Alice King have been and will be an inspiration to generations of young women. Although she lived in “a man’s world,” Alice created a niche for herself through self-determination, intelligence, and above all, an undefeatable spirit that never waned through her 89 years of life in the Rockies (1905 to 1995).

Published for the first time in this book, the love letters written by Kleberg to Alice Gertrudis King provide a glimpse of the lives of two of the most influential people in Texas history. Editors Jane Clements Monday and Frances Brannen Vick have also provided generous documentation and annotation of these important prima...
