Athens, Texas history from a walk...Share the author's experience
as he walks down every street in Athens, Texas, meeting hometown
folks along the way. Ronald spent hours upon hours in the reference
rooms of county libraries researching written accounts on the
beginnings of Athens and Henderson County, and his findings have
been intertwined into his story in such a way that the history of
Athens and Henderson County unfolds as he walks down street after
street. The author includes along with his walk; interesting local
folklore, the making of the first dirt roads in Athens, the making
of the railroads in Henderson County, the last known Indian battle
in Henderson County, a history of the first churches in Athens,
local people of interest, a story of five tunnels under the city of
Athens, Koon Kreek Klub, a 1920 bank robbery at Athens National
Bank, a story about the 1929 and 1930 Athens Hornet National
Championship Basketball Team and some more recent events; such as
the Nativity Scene on the Athens square and a story of the war on
Christmas. A present-day walk and a walk in times past are put
together in a literary sense so that the reader will find the
material informative and enjoyable.
