Is there a list of books that have been published about Erath County. I would love to purchase as many as there are. My Dad was born there and a little bit of his heart is still there. I did purchase a book by a Mr. Favor. I believe he was an attorney. If anyone has a list of them and how they can be purchased, I would like to have it. Thanks, Reba Bostick Criner

Reba, There is considerable information regarding the early days in Erath county on the Government Documents Dept., University of North Texas website http://texinfo.library.unt.edu/annexation/contents.html . At the webpage click on the following PDF file. Middleton, John W. History of the Regulators and Moderators and the Shelby County War in 1841 and 1842, in the Republic of Texas, with Facts and Incidents in the Early History of the Republic and State, from 1837 to the Annexation, Together with Incidents of Frontier Life and Indian Troubles, and the War on the Reserve in Young County in 1857. Fort Worth: Loving Publishing Company, 1883. View: PDF <http://texinfo.library.unt.edu/annexation/files/atpm0255.pdf> John Middleton was one of my g-g-g-grandfathers who relocated from Shelby county in 1856 to the Kickapoo creek area in Erath county (north of Bluffdale). From chapter 12 to the end of his book he relates his many encounters with the Indians of the area. Numerous early days residents of the entire area are covered. It is an excellent early day account of life in Erath and surrounding counties and makes for very enjoyable reading. John and his wife, Mary Ann (Chalk) Middleton are buried in the Acton State Park cemetery.
