Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Texas State Park System, Baylor University Press is pleased to announce the publication of a significant study of Mother Neff State Park. In Guided With a Steady Hand we see how the small events of local history fit within the context of regional and national politics. This is a local story, told large. Come explore the history of the creation of the park and the Civilian Conservation Corps's monumental contribution to the building of this Central Texas jewel.
