Dallas Rediscovered: A Photographic Chronicle of Urban Expansion, 1870-1925

Dallas RediscoveredBy William L. McDonald; introductory essay by A.C. Greene; published by the Dallas Historical Society, 1978.

Dallas Rediscovered examines a city of opulent Victorian Gothic mansions, of elaborate cast-iron commercial emporiums, and of sharecropper shanties where the poor struggle to survive. The book explores Dallas through its architecture, its system of spatial growth and land utilization, and through the developers, land speculators, and urban designers who were so important to the creation of the modern city.

When Dallas Became a City: Letters of John Milton McCoy, 1870-1881.

When Dallas Became a CityEdited by Elizabeth York Enstam, foreword by Millicent Hume McCoy; published by the Dallas Historical Society, 1982.

This book, considered to be the most important primary source ever published about the history of Dallas, describes how Dallas was transformed from a Southern country market town into a boomtown. Reading like a novel, the letters of John Milton McCoy tell the story of daily life in a thriving frontier town and give insight into the customs and values of late nineteenth-century America.
