"I am REALLY enjoying the book--particularly the way you have described the culture, environment, and general conditions of the time, making me feel as if I were there."

 

Jan Cook, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

"Considering I stayed awake until 2 a.m. reading it, with it having no murder or love scenes, or even a recipe, my
take on the book is that it is very well written."

 

Ralph L. Elder, Assistant Director, University Archives and Facilities, The Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin

"I am delighted to acknowledge the receipt of your splendid book, Gholson Road: Revolutionaries and Texas Rangers. Although I have not had a chance to read Gholson Road, it appears to be rigorously researched which, I'm sure, was a labor of love for you. We are, of course, pleased that the resources here at the Center assisted with your research. Your book will be cataloged and added to our Texas Collection Library here at the Center where it will be available to current and future generations of researchers."

"I got my book today and I sure have been enjoying reading it. You had lots of things that I didn't ever hear of. I find it to be excellent and informative and such good history of the Gholson Family. I enjoyed your family tree and family pictures and just all of it.
. . . Thank you very much for the book . . . I will enjoy and cherish it the rest of my life."

 

Bonnie Gentry, Devine, Texas

Said that she is very honored to have the book . . . would like for me to contact the Texas State Library for the Blind to ask them to put it on tapes.

 

John Cleckler, Odessa, Texas

"It is very impressive all the work, and research that you did. I thank you very much . . ."

 

Ruth Cleckler, Odessa, Texas

"I'm enjoying your book. I started reading it a week or so ago. So much history. I'm impressed by the research you did. I took the book with me Sun. to show it to other members of the family. . . . All were impressed."

 

Nel Gholson, Austin, Texas

"Just a note to thank you for the Gholson Road. I have had a hard time putting the book down when I get a chance to read it! I am only on Chapter 5 & I am amazed at all the information you have. How in the world did you get all that history from way back in the fifteen & sixteen hundreds? You are pretty talented, I must say. Dates & land purchases etc. Really has a lot of history. When people see the title, they assume it's strictly about the Gholsons, but it's really so much more. . . ."

 

Janet Gholson Morris

"I purchased your book and it is wonderful. I learned things that I would never have known. Thank you for all the time and effort that went into this book."

 

Ken and Dee Dee Gholson, Lampasas, Texas

"Your book is outstanding!! We received it today and are looking forward to reading it and sharing it with others."

 

Marjory Morris, Fort Worth, Texas

Enjoyed the book "immensely."

 

Nancy Hudson, Concord, California

Fascinating . . . scholarly . . . great research . . . interesting history, even if you're not a Gholson. Likes the eyewitness accounts for the authentic flavor and they also maintain the total objectivity of the book.

 

Sidney Gholson

"I have just finished reading your book; thank you for writing it. As a native Texan as well as a Gholson, I found it hard to put down. The detail of the hardships faced by early Texans was especially interesting to me. I visited your great granddad's old home place about 10 years ago and am glad to hear that restoration is underway. It will be great to see the finished product."

 

Buddy Wayne Vaughn, Retired History Teacher

"I ordered your book and have read it almost without putting it down. I have really enjoyed it and will read it again to glean out of it what I missed the first time."

 

Patricia (Tissie) Morris

"I think this book is wonderful and informative. Everyone in the [Gholson] family should have a copy to hand down to their children or grandchildren. It is a great book about part of [the Gholson] family history."

 

Alex Golson, Theatre Professor, Director & Author

"I just finished reading your terrific book, Gholson Road. Congratulations - very interesting and very well-written."
