This is the story of why the lady who's the soul of Copano Press hasn't been as "productive" this past couple of years. If she is still devoted to Texas history after all of this, she deserves to publish the book you need to write. I read today that a lot of books are disappearing - supposedly libraries have removed a lot of them to make room for computers and meeting rooms b/c "everything is on the Internet". We very well know that Big Tech can make that go away with the stroke of a key. The destruction of the Library of Alexandria set humanity back by many years by destroying their central repository of knowledge - their paper version of the internet.
I love this site because of your stories, your history, your photos. It deserves to live on in the real world, on paper, on my bookshelf, safe from the whims of Jeff Bezos and the Boyz.
Anne, what a kind, wonderful thing to say. You have made my weekend. Thank you.
