Very good backgound information for those interested in the area.By RickAn interesting and insightful pictorial history of a small Texas town closely associated with a now major University. Of course my interest was heightened by the fact that I received not only a Bachelors degree from AM (1965) after spending four years in the Corps of Cadets; but then 11 years later after living in College Station for 2 years; a Masters degree as well. I recently went back for a mini reunion with some of the members of my class that were in my outfit. College Station is currently a boom town with construction every where as well as on the campus. This book covers some of the structures shops that are no longer there as well as those that are about to disappear. When I was there; there was no structure over two stories except on campus. Now high rises are sprouting up. It is about to go through a major change again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

More than just a town...By CamilleThis book appears to be about the town of College Station only. It is much more. It is a book about the town; the state of Texas; and the university that formed the town to begin with. It is fascinating. I couldnt put it down once I started it. There were facts in this book that I had seen nowhere else. It is well-written and interesting. Wish there were a hardbound version. Will watch for one.
