About Joe Tom Davis
A reader's review from May 5, 1999 posted on
Amazon.com said "Joe Tom Davis is probably the most respected Texas
Historian alive today. The stories he tells are bigger than life characters
who in one way or another have affected Texas. His writing style is clear
and concise without errors. His books are a joy to read over and over."
A fifth generation Texan, Joe Tom Davis taught
American and Texas history at WCJC before retiring in 2000. The Texas
Historical Commission honored Davis for his work in oral history video
interviews and the Community College Leadership Program at the University of
Texas awarded him its Excellence Award in teaching.
