Come join Miss Pepper, a feline resident of Fort Worth’s Log Cabin Village, as she meanders through this “village from a long time ago.” Illustrated with original artwork and photos of the village and cabins, Log Cabin Kitty provides a glimpse of life during pioneer days.
Did you know that pioneers often built secret stairways and ladders in their cabins to help them hide from unwanted intruders? As you follow Pepper through the village, you will learn about the dangers, challenges, and joys of pioneer life while exploring the homes of the families who once lived in these cabins. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Cat Track Facts! These fun facts help young readers imagine what life was like for children growing up during the 1800s, and instructions for pioneer recipes and crafts help them experience pioneer life for themselves.

"He said students need exposure to the perspectives of Latin American people to have a well-rounded understanding of American society. 'They’re learning about the ’60s and they’re hearing about Woodstock or they’re hearing about NOW or they’re hearing about Watergate,' he said, but 'there were other things that were going on simultaneously that really have laid the bedrock for equal opportunity equity today.'"

Interabang Books Wards of the League

Good golly, it's TODAY! Worth a trip to Dallas to meet Mike Cobern, and two other TCU Press authors, Connell Miller Jr. and Bob Steinfeld, both who have upcoming books. Go early and stay late -- that's what TCU Marketing guy James Lehr is planning.

I want to say thanks to all who responded so far (on Facebook and LinkedIn) to the last post for the upcoming Interabang Books event next month.

I’m posting this today to let everyone here know of a schedule change.

We've had to push it to Tuesday September 24th @ 6:00 due to a logistics issue with the publisher.

At the same time, I want to thank the folks at Interabang for making the accommodation.

Sorry!
