Books on Reserve (list of standard books)

Be sure to look in other books on reserve as well. I've only looked in the "standards" for this name.
  • Ringside seat to a Revolution: p. 201 
  • El Paso Chronicles: p.185, 205, 206 (Hoover House was built for him in 1916, Dudley field -- baseball -- named after him -- his election defeated the KKK)
  • El Paso: A Borderlands History:  p.234 (on election)
    following the footnote leads to EP Times articles Feb 25 and 26, 1923 and Dudley Scrapbook at the public library.  (This reference isn't in the online catalog, by the way, so this is a cool way of finding out that the scrapbook exists!  Find it at Southwest Collection no.562 in the Border Heritage Center)

EPPL: Border Heritage Center

Call and ask the staff before you go down (915-543-5440), if there is an entry in their vertical file.  This is a collection of photocopied articles on a person or topic.

In addition, check the newspaper card catalog to see other articles available. You would then have to search for the article in the microfilms, ask at the reference desk around the corner from the readers for help.

Borderlands is published annually by El Paso Community College, P.O. Box 20500, El Paso, TX 79998.

It is a collection of student written articles on the history and culture of the El Paso, Juárez, Las Cruces border region, comprising the states of Texas, New Mexico, and the Mexican state of Chihuahua.   This site was created with seed money from the Integrating Technical Contexts into Academic Courses (ITAC) Project, and maintained by the Northwest Community Library staff.  Funds for the program were provided by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board under the auspices of the federal Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998.
