History of Texas Christian University: A College of the Cattle Frontier is a comprehensive account of the founding and development of Texas Christian University (TCU), located in Fort Worth, Texas. Written by Colby Dixon Hall, a former TCU professor and historian, the book traces the university's origins back to its founding in 1873 as AddRan Male and Female College. The book explores the challenges that the fledgling institution faced in its early years, including financial instability and a lack of resources. Despite these obstacles, TCU continued to grow and expand, eventually becoming a major university with a reputation for academic excellence and a commitment to Christian values. Throughout the book, Hall delves into the social, cultural, and economic context of TCU's development, highlighting the role that the cattle industry played in shaping the university's identity and mission. He also explores the contributions of key figures in TCU's history, including its founding president Addison Clark, as well as notable alumni such as Bob Schieffer and Dan Jenkins. Overall, History of Texas Christian University: A College of the Cattle Frontier provides a fascinating and detailed account of the history of one of Texas' most important educational institutions. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of Texas, higher education, or the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
