Title: Great book
Post by: texaskdog on January 15, 2017, 03:25:30 PM
I was at the Bob Bullock museum in Austin and found a great book by Carol Dawson "Miles & Miles of Texas: 100 Years of the Texas Highway Department".  I am cheap so instead of spending $40 on it I got if from the library but I think y'all would enjoy it.

I have a copy of "Texas Highways" - Golden Anniversary Texas Highway Department 1917-1967 that Justin gave me several years back. It has a number of photos showing signs, DOT buildings, and other infrastructure.

Could the book be found on Amazon, if any of the rest of us can't make it down to Texas?
