About This Item
[Various places in Texas, 1920. About very good.. Twenty-seven real photo postcards, of which fifteen filled out in manuscript and mailed. Minor wear, light dust soiling and staining. A neat collection of just under thirty real photo postcards of Texas scenes, most showing military or oil business scenes. Approximately half are filled out by a man named George and addressed to a female acquaintance or relative in Woodbine, Iowa, from 1918 to 1920. George seems to have been in the military, as several of the completed postcards are written from Ft. Ringgold in Rio Grande City, Ft. Sam Houston, and Wichita Falls. The locales depicted in the cards correspond to the regions surrounding these base points, and include images of Burkburnett, Ranger, Breckenridge, Mission, McAllen, Brownsville, and several other towns. The cards showing the oil fields of North Texas, and related operations and infrastructure are quite striking.
