- Summary:
- Almost a hundred years after the death of Stephen F. Austin this first full-length biography was published. And for almost a quarter of a century--dividing his time between editing, teaching, textbook writing, and serving in various academic capacities--Eugene C. Barker pursued the study which resulted in The Life of Stephen F. Austin. His accomplishment has long been regarded as a fine example of biography in Texas literature.
