Carol Taylor, chairman of the Hunt County Historical Commission, wrote recently in her blog about her favorite Texas writers.  They include H.C. Brands, the author of the history of the Texas Revolution, "Lone Star Nation," whom she didn't like until she heard him speak.  Others include S.C. Gwynne, author of "Empire of the Summer Moon," and local authors Thad Sitton and Jim Conrad, authors of "Freedom Colonies."

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
