Excerpt from Western Texas as a Winter Resort: Via the "Sunset Route" It is not enough that a place shall possess a mild climate, to make it a desirable winter resort. It must also have beautiful scenery and facilities for sport and recreation; It must present features which shall interest educated and refined persons. The society must be such as will be agree able to ladies and gentlemen of culture. The medical faculty must be of superior attainments, and the churches those in which the worship of the God of beauty is rendered with eloquence and musical harmony. In short, a winter resort must possess, besides a genial climate and perfect health fulness, all the advantages of advanced civilization.
