Summary
"The text is organized in chronological chapters by the tenures of the seven directors, George Garrison to Ron Tyler, all of whom were professors in the UT history department. Within the larger framework of the directors, the programs, and the publications, McCaslin gives shape to the unique interaction of forces - university, political, and the academic/lay membership - that has accorded the Association a character and suppleness that continues to ensure its long endurance." "The book is profusely illustrated, and sidebars - many culled from past issues of the Quarterly - complement the text; an epilogue briefly brings the history up to 2007. For those who have long been members of the Association, there is nostalgic delight in hearing again those long-ago voices of Eugene Barker, Walter Webb, Bailey Carroll, Joe Frantz, and Tuffly Ellis and new appreciation for how much thought and energy and commitment have gone into the guidance and stability of the state's oldest historical organization."--BOOK JACKET.
