to the Dripping Springs Community Library. It is a publication by the Texas Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Recognizing that many are unfamiliar with the history of our state until shortly before the Battle of the Alamo, this book seeks to relate tales of the men and women living in what was New Spain during colonial times — Native Americans, European immigrants, African Americans, and those of mixed ancestry. Daughters from all corners of Texas uncovered family stories using courthouse records and library archives to weave together a collection of captivating tales. Rooted in historical facts, these stories are uniquely told from the perspective of children and thoughtfully crafted for a fourth-grade audience. A copy of the book will also be donated to the six elementary schools in the Dripping Springs Independent School District.
