"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 . . .

1906 :: Automobile for Rockdale
Mr. P.H. Perry has ordered an automobile, which is expected to arrive in a short while. This will be the first "devil wagon" for Rockdale, and when it arrives the trouble will begin. We hope he won't bring it out for the first trip on Saturday when the streets are crowded. Rockdale Reporter. (Rockdale, Tex.), Vol. 13, No. 29, Ed. 1 Thursday, September 27, 1906
