For nearly a decade, the people of West Texas fought for something most of the state took for granted: a college of their own.
They battled through three governors, three legislatures, and one outright scandal.
They were lied to, vetoed, ignored… and they refused to quit.
This is the story of telegrams and barbecue diplomacy, of political brawls and backroom deals, of the long fight that gave birth to Texas Technological College, and with it, a new era for West Texas.
