It is a journey through time and space that; in my opinion; is destined to become a classic.A tribute to the heritage of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County; this book offers both architectural and historic details of each selected structure; with information about its builder; occupants; uses; and relationship to the larger community. The author combines exhaustive research with an obvious love and mastery of his subject. It must have been a challenge to synthesize massive amounts of technical and arcane information into an easily-accessible and well-written portable guidebook. Mr. Hafertepe succeeds admirably.Also included are outstanding recent color photographs of 210 sites; beginning with the symbolic Fredericksburg Vereins-Kirche replica and ending with the Texas White House at the LBJ National Park in Stonewall. These photographs of existing structures in town and county create a record of independent merit that is well worth the guides price. You will want to savor the text; too; but a slow pace is necessary to avoid being overwhelmed by the abundance of detail. I highly recommend you select a short route (it is easy to follow the books excellent sequencing and clear addresses); read each entry in advance; then take the guide and a larger town map with you on your tour. Fredericksburgs historic streets make walking a pleasure.Personal note: I have a home in the historic district (it gets two sentences in the book; woo hoo!) and have spent many hours walking along Main Street and throughout town; usually being towed by my dog. I cannot count the times Ive wondered about places I pass. This book is exactly what I would have requested. I am overjoyed that the author and publishing team had the dedication; perseverance; and expertise to create it (I only wish I knew more about my house!). I can vouch for the difficulty of taking good photographs of most of these structures and hope the photographer was not squished like a bug by a vehicle or pedestrian somewhere along Main Street.Kudos also go to Texas AM University Press for a beautifully-crafted; sturdy travel guide. I intend to test its durability until one of us wears out. TAMU Press field guides are always excellent; and this one is a star among stars.Finally; to Professor Hafertepe: DANKE SEHR! One copy of your guide is already well-thumbed. My reserve copy resides in the fine company of Terry Jordans Texas Graveyards and his fathers Yesterday in the Texas Hill Country; a spot it well deserves.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
