From Cotton Field to Oil Field, A History of Van, Texas
By: Linda Lantrip Mays and Tommie Lantrip Mayo
A history of Van, Texas, from its beginnings in the 19th century, through the oil boom that began with the first discovery well in 1929, to the mid-20th century. An in-depth and engrossing read of the changes that well-managed sudden growth can bring to a rural community. Don't miss the reminiscences of local residents (most born in the 1800s) captured at length at the end of the book. Authors Linda Lantrip Mays and Tommie Lantrip Mayo, sisters and Van natives, capture the history and the charm of a small Texas community.
