The Sheriffs of Kendall County
The stories of the twenty-two men and one woman who have served as Sheriff of Kendall County, Texas from 1862 to the present reflect the saga of the development of the region from wild frontier to modern urbanization. Using primary sources, family records, personal interviews, and newspaper archives, we have profiled each of these sheriffs and their time in office. These profiles capture a rich and sometimes surprising historical heritage. Our first sheriff was the only Union sympathizer elected sheriff in a Confederate State. We have had the first African American sheriff in Texas since Reconstruction. One of our sheriffs was shot and killed and his wife became the sheriff.

John H. Kampmann: Master Builder - San Antonio's German Infuence in the 19th Century

Maggie Valentine explores the legacy Kampmann had as a craftsman, builder, contractor, stonemason, construction supervisor, building designer, materials supplier, and business and civic leader for thirty-five years in San Antonio. He changed the face of the city from an adobe Spanish village to a city of stone and mortar. The book also looks at what it meant to be an architect, the business of building, and the role of immigrants." By Maggie Valentine, hardcover, 224 pages with index.
