Thirty-five miles east of Austin, McDade, Texas is
quintessential small-town America. McDade's colorful history, from
its founding in 1871 as a Wild West boomtown and continuing to the
much quieter present day, comes to life in The Soul of a Small
Texas Town. David Wharton's contemporary photographs of the
community and its residents and his accompanying narrative reveal
growth and decline, shared family histories, traditions, crises,
and celebrations.
The book explores the impact of local issues, discusses how
regional, national, and international events affect the community,
and speculates about the town's uncertain future. A fascinating
story, it is also an important reflection of life in small rural
towns throughout the nation.
