Wimberley’s 1920s Rise and the Goat Boom
The reminiscence covers Wimberley from 1920 through 1929, detailing road improvements, the first tourist camps by Leslie Harrison and family, a major 1927 fire, and a shift from cotton to goats and sheep as drought and pests hit. It notes cattle values, the 1922 road extension, the 1925 church, and the 1912 wedding photo.
