About the Book In 1995, Rusty Busby moved to the small Texas town of Comfort (population: 2,000) and placed an ad in the local newspaper proposing to start a game of 42 every Friday. When the time came, the domino aficionados congregated in front of the historic Ingenhuett Store (the oldest continuously operating general store in Texas at the time), and a kind of magic was born. For the next twenty-seven years, this group of friends would meet every week to play their favorite game, discuss solutions for the world’s problems, and maybe get into some mischief once in a while... About the Author Rusty Busby is a native of San Antonio, Texas. Before retiring, Busby was a practicing lawyer for over fifty years. He is a sixth generation Texan and is deeply passionate about Texas history. He currently resides in Comfort, Texas, where he enjoys hunting, fishing, and, of course, playing 42.

The Red River Bridge War

A Texas-Oklahoma Border Battle

By: Rusty Williams

Winner, 2017 Oklahoma Book Award, sponsored by the Oklahoma Center for the Book Winner, 2016 Outstanding Book on Oklahoma History, sponsored by the Oklahoma Historical Society At the beginning of America’s Great Depression, Texas and Oklahoma armed up and went to war over a 75-cent toll bridge that connected their states across the Red River. It was a two-week affair marked by the presence of National Guardsmen with field artillery, Texas Rangers with itchy trigger fingers, angry mobs, Model T blockade runners, and even a costumed Native American peace delegation. Traffic backed up for miles, cutting off travel between the states. This conflict entertained newspaper readers nationwide during the summer of 1931, but the Red River Bridge War was a deadly serious affair for many rural Americans at a time when free bridges and passable roads could mean the difference between survival and starvation. The confrontation had national consequences, too: it marked an end to public acceptance of the privately owned ferries, toll bridges, and turnpikes that threatened to strangle American transportation in the automobile age. The Red River Bridge War: A Texas-Oklahoma Border Battle documents the day-to-day skirmishes of this unlikely conflict between two sovereign states, each struggling to help citizens get goods to market at a time of reduced tax revenue and little federal assistance. It also serves as a cautionary tale, providing historical context to the current trend of re-privatizing our nation’s highway infrastructure.

Rusty Wallace

The Decision to Win

By: Bob Zeller,Rusty Wallace

In a sport teeming with aggressive competitors, Rusty Wallace's commitment and drive are legendary. But few fans realize that Rusty's unyielding determination to race was already clear at the age of 16, when he got a court order to compete at his local St. Louis, Mo., track and won his very first race.The story of Rusty's exciting and often difficult road to NASCAR glory is told in Rusty Wallace: The Decision To Win. Rusty and his family candidly recount each stage of his career, from his early years and his first attempt at Winston Cup in 1980, to his hard-won Winston Cup Championship in 1989 and his disappointing and controversial finish in the 1999 Daytona 500.
