Rose-Mary, whose German immigrant forbears began arriving in Dallas after the Civil War, accumulates histo-ry almost by osmosis. And she finds humor in ever snaggle-toothed story. Her peephole history includes a collection of stories accumulated by her family, many originally published in the Oak Cliff Tribune. Rose-Mary explores everything in Dallas from South Fork and that \"awful\" Texas accent, to a two-bit Santa, and Dallas personalities are dis-cussed, including Robert L. Thornton, Doak Walker, Rufus C. Burleson, and even Bonnie and Clyde. There is also coverage of businesses-the department store bunch, Pegasus and Mobil Oil, Texas Instruments, LTV, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose-Mary Rumbley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681790114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681790114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eakin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Rose-Mary Rumbley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996406579455,"sku":"9781681790114","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e4d6080-2f01-4719-883d-c1549b166bcb.jpg?v=1683341510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-unauthorized-history-of-dallas-rose-mary-rumbley-9781681790114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
