In this post, you can read more about the book "A Brief History of the Lower Rio Grande Valley" and where to get your free copy. In it I came across a lot of familiar names from my genealogy research.
What is also so interesting to me is that the author Frank Cushman Pierce was an avid genealogist who collected a great deal of information pertaining to Mier, Camargo, and Reynosa.
I have personally used some of the collections that he collected and are now under the care of the Brownsville Historical Association.
As I was saying, lately I have been more and more interested in reading about Northeastern Mexico and South Texas. I want to get a glimpse as to the political and way of life that our ancestors may have experienced in this region.
This book provides a glimpse into that past. Specially if you have ancestors that lived in the border region anywhere from Matamoros to Laredo. For us genealogists, it provides a great many deal of stories connected to names that you may be researching.
The book is no longer under copyright and you can download a FREE copy of it using button below. Some printed copies are available on Amazon and I have also added a link for your convenience in case that you want to buy one.

Hi Moises,
Is there another place that you know of that I could buy this book? I do not deal with Amazon. I am reading it online, but it would be nice to have it in book form.
Thank you,
