When Amon G. Carter Sr. visited Ireland, he was hailed as "the mighty Carter, son of the Lone Star State." Quite fitting.
Texas is what it is today a leader in industry, especially aviation in part because of the work Carter did in the first half of the 20th century. A one-man economic development department for Fort Worth and vast West Texas, Carter is credited with luring a trillion dollars' worth of businesses to his beloved state.
Flashy, excessive, impulsive and powerful, the pretend-cowboy manipulated presidents with gifts and hobnobbed with celebrities.
At every turn, he fought arch-rival Dallas. Legend has it that he carried a sack lunch to Big D because he didn't want to spend any money there.
In this book, a companion to the new theatrical production of the same name, Amon Carter tells how he built one of the great media empires of the land and what he did with it. The book also presents 100 classic photographs from the era that bring Amon's words to life.
