Synopsis

The story of the telephone in Texas. In early 1878, there were two working telephones in Texas. It recalls the days when young boys were the first telephone operators and when horses and mules hauled poles to set up the first lines. The days of "Hello Central" and "whoop and holler" transmission over open iron wires. This book records the individual stories of Texas telephone companies and the experiences of their people. Each company's history is told in its own words by its own employees.
