Description:
"Abilene History in Plain Sight is a guide to the people, places and events that define Abilene. It provides the high vantage point from which you come to know the lives behind the names--Cooper High School, Shotwell Stadium, and Maxwell Golf Course--and to meet those who are honored by the naming of a park or street (such as Egbert Kirby, Nelson Wilson, Vera Minter, and Walter Ely). In this engaging book, the past is picked up, dusted off, and given a new shine. As you learn the story behind that church, school, or college that you drive past, it will create a connection that serves to endear Abilene to you more deeply"--Dust jacket.
