The party who deliberately drove up to my place, loaded a cotton planter on his wagon and drove off with it last Thursday, April 27, will do well to return same at once. I know who the party is, and unless planter is returned immediately will take steps for prosecution. H.D. Brodnax. Rockdale Reporter and Messenger, May 01, 1913
"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 . . .
