Emmett Shelton Sr. tells of his first-hand personal experiences as an Insider with state and local politics. His earliest experiences were with Governor and Mrs. Ferguson.
Next, tale is set when FDR as president and the Work Progress Administration Relief Organization was created to build roads and bridges (2k employees in Travis Co). Emmett got on the committee to run the local Relief work and built a lifelong friendship with Judge Raymond from Laredo that paid off later.
