Texas Jurist: The Life, Law and Legacy of B.D. Tarlton (Paperback)

Benjamin Dudley (B.D.) Tarlton served two terms in the Texas House of Representatives, one year as an Associate Justice on the Texas Commission of Appeals, one six-year term as the first Chief Justice of the Second Court of Civil Appeals in Fort Worth, and fifteen years as Professor of Law at the University of Texas. This book is B.D. Tarlton's story and that of his family, past and present. It is a search for the man who died 102 years ago but is remembered as if he were alive today. This book is about religion, love, war, peace, conflict, law, and within all of this, there is a miracle.
