Austin sat the first all-woman state supreme court in the nation in 1925. A utopian colony thrived in Kristenstad during the Great Depression. Bats taken from the Bracken and Ney Caves and Devil&#8217;s Sinkhole were developed as a secret weapon that vied with the Manhattan Project to shorten World War II. In Slaton in 1922, German priest Joseph M. Keller was kidnapped, tarred and feathered amid anti-German fervor following World War I. Author E.R. Bills offers this collection of trials, tribulations and intrigue that is sure to enrich one&#8217;s understanding of the biggest state in the Lower Forty-eight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Obscurities Stories of the Peculiar, Exceptional, &#038; Nefarious We will be hosting a signing event with E.
