Grapevine
The town of Grapevine was formed when a small group of pioneers settled together on the Grape Vine Prairie in the 1840s and 1850s. The first settlers came for the promise of land ownership and a better life, and the Grape Vine Springs and rich soil yielded good harvests and subsequent prosperity. When the Cotton Belt Railroad arrived in 1888, it helped establish the town as a permanent agricultural trade center servicing the entire region. The Civil War and World Wars I and II interrupted the town's normal activities, but the citizens rallied in support of their state and country. Two major construction projects in the 1950s and 1960s transformed the future of Grapevine: the Grapevine Dam and Reservoir and the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In the 1970s, local historians realized the wealth within the city's past, and leaders took steps to protect and preserve it so that today people from all over the world come to see this quaint little prairie town.

Grapevine Area History
The city of Grapevine, in the heart of North Texas, traces its roots back to 1844. Today's community was first a settlement by hardy pioneers; then evolved into a small farming town; and later had its destiny shaped by transportation changes from railroads to the DFW International Airport; not to mention the creation of Grapevine Lake in the middle of the 20th century. In the 1970s, the Grapevine Historical Society was created out of an urgent need to rescue and preserve buildings, artifacts, and histories that were imminent danger of being lost to time. One of the Society's early projects was the compilation of Grapevine Area History, a chronicle of key people and places of Grapevine's past. Expanded once and reprinted several times in the decades since, not only is this the original primary reference work for area history, it has itself taken on a historical context, as the city has grown and changed dramatically since it was written.
Once Upon Dickson
Once Upon Dickson tells the story of Dickson Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas, the colorful and ever-changing link between the center of town and the University campus. Carefully researched, it will appeal to a large popular audience of residents and visitors to the city's premier entertainment district and to University personnel and alumni, for whom it is as memorable in their college experience as Old Main or Razorback Stadium. In a time when Dickson Street is undergoing radical change, the book serves as a reminder that the street has been changing almost from the earliest time in its history. Residences, churches, public institutions, and businesses have come, gone, and sometimes come again, but because of its location, Dickson Street remains at the heart of Fayetteville.
