Tarleton State University will host a pair of day-long events in June relating to Texas history and featuring nationally recognized historians.

 

The Texas Industrial Symposium: Texas Wines, Spirits and Breweries begins Friday, June 13, followed by the Texas New Deal Symposium Saturday, June 14.

 

 

Both will be held in Room 113 of the Joe W. Autry Agriculture Building on the Stephenville campus.

 

The Texas Industrial Symposium begins with three 9:15 a.m. sessions.


Dr. Joseph Locke from the University of North Texas presents “Prohibition in Texas: The Rise and Fall of the Drys and Wets”; Dr. Eric Morrow of Tarleton State presents “Religious Conservatism and Advocacy in Texas”; and Texas State University’s Dr. Jason Mellard shares “From ‘Six Pack to Go” to ‘Una Mas Cerveza’: Signifying Beer in Texas Country Music.”

 

 

Sessions starting at 11 a.m. feature “Myths of Texas Drovers, Cowboys and Drink” by Western Heritage Award winner Michael Grauer; Temple College’s Gene Rhea Tucker’s “Alcohol in a Company Town”; and “You Do the Crime, You Do the Time: Erath County Jail Logs, 1877-1910” presented by Tarleton State’s Dr. Deborah Liles.

Texas Tech’s Dr. William Scott, Dr. Ron Goodwin of Prairie View A&M and Tarleton State’s Dr. Jahue E. Anderson open the morning sessions.

 

The 9 a.m. presentations include Dr. Scott’s discussion of “Folk History’s Lens on Slave Health from the Slave Narratives of Texas,” Dr. Goodwin’s “Preserving the ‘Amicable Relations between White and Negro Races,’” and Dr. Anderson’s “From Oil Boom to Water Crises: Wichita Falls and the New Deal Responses.”
