This history of Fort Bend County, Texas is composed principally of biographical sketches of pioneers, including General M. B.

Austin, etc. It also contains material on the Jaybird-Woodpecker feud, a muster roll of the Terry Texas Rangers, and county organization and affairs. This is a rare work; Howes states that there were only 100 copies printed. We have found 51 copies on OCLC meaning there are fewer than 50 copies in private hands. Howes S-798. Adams Six-Guns 2074.
