Founded in 1842 by Charles DeMorse, a New York lawyer and veteran of the Texas Revolution, the paper was published under his editorship for forty-six years. The paper grew to become the second largest in circulation in Texas and DeMorse himself was hailed as the Father of Texas Journalism. The Standard provided its readers with a full offering of what was happening in Clarksville, Northern Texas (as well as the rest of Texas), the nation, and even the world of the mid-1800s. Volume I focuses on Red River County and its seat, the town of Clarksville, during the years 1846 to 1860. The former Red River District of the Republic of Texas, it is mother county to thirty-nine present Texas counties. Volume II focuses on what happened in many of those calf counties during the same fourteen year time span: from the days of the Republic, to Statehood, and finally, the Civil War. Some of these counties were already well established, some were still developing, and others were in their infancy. Beyond these counties was the frontier with its wild native inhabitants. This rich source of names, dates and other genealogical tidbits is enhanced by indices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Marrin, Lorna Geer Sheppard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078844316X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780788443169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heritage Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Richard Marrin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128540655871,"sku":"9780788443169","price":26.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7835b210-5e9b-43e6-864f-9d407bc92ba7.jpg?v=1687459179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-paradise-of-texas-volume-richard-marrin-9780788443169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
