Traces of Texas reader Kevin Donohue took this remarkable shot of Willie at John T. Floore's country store in Helotes almost 50 years ago, back in May, 1974. Willie had just turned 41. How great is this photo? Thank you so much for sharing, Kevin. Long live Willie Nelson!
The Texas Quote of the Day is one of the best true-life cowboy quotes you'll ever read: "From 1874 to 1877 I was taking care of my father's cattle, and after a while the neighbors began putting cattle with me, paying me a dollar fifty a head for six months. I herded them in the…
youtube.com/watch?v=j5KtCU… For Willie's 91st birthday, I could have chosen any one of about 621 different songs and I just now got swept away watching about two hours worth of videos, trying to make a perfect choice. I finally gave up. But I love this one and with Glen gone and…
Traces of Texas reader Rhonda Porter was so thoughtful as to send in this stupefyingly great photo of her mother in 1934 down in the Rio Grande Valley with the biggest lemon I have ever seen. I mean, that lemon is larger than their heads. Crazy! Thank you, Rhonda. What a…
I love it when y'all clue me in to a part of Texas history about which I knew nothing. Such is the case with this 1953 photo of a horse race in Boerne, Texas, which was sent in by Traces of Texas reader Bill Beecher. Before today I didn't know that Boerne ever had a horse racing…
Just another moment in Texas history. On March 10, 1974 President Richard Nixon stepped out of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Houston, Texas and walked to the Keystone Coffee Shop. He was accompanied by his military aide, LTCR T. Stephen Todd, and Secret Service Agent Bobby F.…
Whiteface Herefords on the JA Ranch in 1904. The JA Ranch, situated in the Panhandle, holds the distinction of being the oldest privately owned cattle operation in the region. Its origins trace back to the summer and fall of 1876 when Charles Goodnight embarked on a momentous…
Traces of Texas reader Zach Oldham shared this nice photo of his grandmother, Ruby Haufler, working her job at Metzger's Dairy at 1430 N. Flores Street in San Antonio. It was taken in the 1940s and Zach discovered it while going through Ruby's old photo albums. Zach said Ruby…
Traces of Texas reader Ashley Yates generously shared this photo of downtown Port Lavaca, taken in 1951. I was there a couple of years ago and, although the theater still stands, most of the other buildings either do not OR they have had their facades changed so much as to be…
Sammy Lievsay photo of his great uncle, William Jesse Lievsay, taken in Sherman in 1905. William lived from 1878-1920 and was a professional gambler for most of his adult life. Family lore has it that Peter was flamboyant and popular with the ladies. Sounds believable to me!
The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day: Today is Willie Nelson's 91st birthday. He told Southern Living magazine a few years ago that he tries to eat “sensibly” and how that all starts with his morning meal: oatmeal. “Actually, if you want to know the truth,” he said, “about all I…
The Texas Quote of the Day: "These millionaires and the wild cowboys of the plains are one homogenous mass of patriotism and pluck, representing and illustrating our fierce democracy where every man is equally a sovereign and where crowns must be won before they are worn. Here…
Folks gathering for a church service in rural Ellis county, 1937. Such a wonderful shot taken by Dorothea Lange.
Holy smokes, knock me over with a feather! Check out this great photo of Oscar Dyke's place on Irving Blvd. in Irving, Texas back in 1934. The signs are FANTASTICO! The band members are Howard Woods, Ikie Story, Leroy Williams and Wylie Brooks. This photo was posted by Sudie…
Janis Joplin at Threadgill's in Austin, on July 10, 1970. It was a celebration of Kenneth Threadgill's birthday and she sang "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Sunday Morning Coming Down." She would die fewer than three months later.
Traces of Texas reader AJ Guel sent in this nifty family portrait, taken in 1917 in Weesatche, Texas. AJ's grandfather, Tomas Delgado, is the second youngest child shown. Says AJ: " When this photo was taken, our family had already been in Texas for 186 years. My ancestors…

Traces of Texas reader Chino Chapa graciously sent in this dynamite historical photo of former Erath County farmer-turned-train robber Rube Burrow in his coffin, propped up against a train, in October, 1890. Chino included this super interesting history behind this photo:…

@TracesofTexas There's a street in Corpus Christi named Carancahua
@TracesofTexas Europeans didn’t discover the. Ew world. They met people when they arrived
@TracesofTexas There used to be some kind of archeological site from them on Galveston. I don’t remember it being much, but thae last time I was there was a long time ago.
@TracesofTexas I’d never heard of this tribe until recently. I’m currently reading Doug J Swanson’s book about TX Rangers. IDK Y or how I missed this in TX History class.
@TracesofTexas I suspect that the Texas coast was periodically "cleansed" of human populations like many coastal areas world wide over the millennia. So "latecomer" might be circumstantial or naivete of the hazards. Aside from this, sealevels have varied as much as 400 ft lower that today.
