In early 1878, there were two working telephones in Texas. From 2 phones to millions, from calling down the street to calling around the world, Texas telephone service has come a long way in just over a century. For 112 years, the men and women of the Texas telephone industry have worked hard to build a communications network that is one of the finest in the world. This book is their story. 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. 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.
