WELCOME TO THE 109th ANNUAL MEETING

The Texas State Historical Association is pleased to bring its 2005 Annual Meeting to Fort Worth. No matter what you call it—"the city where the West begins," "Cowtown," or "Panther City"—Fort Worth is the quintessential Texas city, lying at the nexus of east and west, cowboys and culture, and myth and reality. According to historian Richard F. Selcer, whose Fort Worth: A Texas Original! the Association recently published, Fort Worth was built on cattle and oil industries, but today it "has become nationally known as a 'destination city' thanks to the Historic Stockyards District, the Texas Motor Speedway, the Bass Performance Hall, Six Flags, the Ballpark at Arlington, and the Cultural District." As far as we are concerned, it is a perfect destination for the members of the Association and all those interested in discussing and learning more about all facets of Texas history.

U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison will headline the Association's 109th Annual Meeting at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Fort Worth, March 3-5. Her topic will be "American Heroines," the subject of a new book that she has written. Other speakers include James Ward Lee of the TCU Press, who will speak at the Thursday Luncheon on the subject of "Reading will Ruin You," and Jerry Thompson, who will speak at the Saturday Breakfast on the subject of the new TSHA publication that he coauthored with Lawrence T. Jones III, Civil War and Revolution on the Rio Grande Frontier: A Narrative and Photographic History.

A special treat on Saturday afternoon will be a tour to historic Thurber and the W. K. Gordon Center for Industrial History of Texas, conducted by museum director T. Lindsay Baker and historian Harwood P. Hinton. Of course, there will be the silent auction organized by bookseller Michael Heaston and his committee, presenting a superb collection of books, maps, and historical material for the collector. We are especially grateful to the Amon Carter Museum Board of Trustees for hosting this year's Presidential Reception. Special thanks also goes to the members of the 2005 Annual Meeting Program Committee, who have worked hard throughout the last year to put together a program that, like the Trinity River, is both wide and deep and that offers something for everyone.

Attendees will also have a chance to visit the Cultural District and the Stockyards and to enjoy downtown Fort Worth, a success story few cities can boast. Please make plans to begin your celebration of Texas History Month by attending the Association's Annual Meeting.

John Crain
TSHA President 2004-2005
