"Rockdale, my hometown, is Texas' heart and significant part of its soul," George Sessions Perry wrote in his book, Texas: A World Unto Itself. Perry wrote with lifelong affection about his hometown, first as a novelist and later as a magazine journalist. He describes the pioneers of Rockdale as typical of restless Southerners who hitched their wagons and moved to Texas after the Civil War. . . . Clay Coppedge . . .

1921 :: Crop Indications Good
Rockdale, Tex., March 26.-- It is believed that never before were prospects better for a huge crop of small fruits, berries, etc. in this section of Central Texas. The fields and woods and uncultivated spaces are white as snowbanks with dewberry blossoms. Other fruit trees are in full bloom. If labor is available when the ripening time comes Milam County will be able to furnish an almost unlimited quantity of dewberries to the consumer. Galveston Daily News, March 27, 1921
