East Texas Chamber of Commerce Magazines

Between the 1920s and 1970s the East Texas Chamber of Commerce published a magazine entitled "East Texas". Longview Public Library has the bound copies in the genealogical room and they are a wealth of information on not just the history of Longview but also east Texas cities. They cover all east Texas cities between Dallas, Shreveport, and Houston. I'm working on a project with regards to these magazines, however I cannot make promises. All I can say is just keep track of this blog.
