Beaumont Through the Eyes of a Historian
The Articles of W. T. Block
W. T.
Block's first book, "A History of Jefferson County, Texas" (ISBN:
9798841247500), was published in 1976 and was a formal history "From
Wilderness to Reconstruction." During that early period, Beaumont, Texas was
the primary focus of the book.
His second project was called "Emerald of the Neches" which was exclusively
about Beaumont, Texas. He spent four years researching microfilm newspaper
articles and then typing this information up into a nearly 600 page
manuscript which he never actually published. I recently scanned the
manuscript and published it (ISBN: 9798362230203).
This current book is a collection of 177 computer files (originally written
in Microsoft Write, a word processor program that shipped with early
versions of Microsoft Windows) which were primarily the source of his
newspaper articles, but also some other publications focused on Beaumont,
Texas.
The articles are roughly organized in historical order although that was not
always an easy call since many of the articles covered multiple decades.
Most of the original articles did not contain photographs, but when I was
able to relate an image from "Emerald of the Neches" to an article, that
image was included in the article. Several other images were added to a
'Photographs' chapter at the end of the book.
The book includes a detailed Table of Contents, Table of Figures, and Index
to aid those who are interested in doing research.
WTBLOCK.ORG has worked to preserve WT's work and this book is the 21st book
in that effort.
�W. T. Block's son, William T. Block, III
