""David B. Gracy's biography of George Washington Littlefield is a
masterfully researched and written, unvarnished yet sympathetic
study of a Texan American icon. Driven by honor, duty, and tireless
industry, the battle-hardened veteran and entrepreneur comes to
life as a demanding, yet thoughtful patriarch with a crusty heart
of gold, who used his economic muscle to shape Southern and
American history through philanthropy."" - Monte L. Monroe, Texas
