Wimberley Rancher Chronicles War Years and Homefront
Excerpt from Wimberley a Way of Life recounts 1944 45 town efforts to clear cedar with two heavy tractors forming a company while war bonds drive supports. It notes rodeos stock shows and community actions, plus letters from soldiers and the 1945 stock show, park programs, and the Dobbin trading post sale as The Rancher ends its run.
