Big Bend Park Drive Leads Texas to National Park
The drive for a Texas national park unfolds across towns from Alpine to Fort Worth. Amon G. Carter aids Gov Allred and a state committee in mobilizing funds and support, raising over 26 000 for a field agent and securing pledges from Houston Dallas El Paso and Alpine. The Texas Legislature later approves 1 500 000 for land in the Chisos mountains, with deed handed to the National Park Service in 1942.
