Three TCU Press publications received awards from the
Texas State Historical Association.

• DFW Deco: Modernistic Architecture of North Texas,
received the Ron Tyler Award for Best Illustrated
Book on Texas History and Culture. Written by Jim
Parsons and David Bush, DFW Deco examines a
vibrant architectural heritage that spans legendary
eras in American history, from the Roaring Twenties
through the Great Depression to World War II.
• Sins of the Younger Sons, a novel by Jan Reid,
received the Jesse H. Jones Award for Best Work of
Fiction. Ranging from the Amazon rain forest to a
deadly prison in Madrid, Sins of the Younger Sons is a
love story exposed to dire risk at every turn.
• Tejano Tiger, by Jerry Thompson, is the latest in the
Texas Biography Series with the Center for Texas
Studies, received the Ramirez Family Award for Most
Significant Scholarly Book. Thompson convincingly
positions Santos Benavides as one of South Texas’s
most important social, political and military figures of
the nineteenth century.
