Thanks so much to Dr. Alex Hunt of West Texas A&M University's Center for the Study of the American West (CSAW)for stopping by High Plains Morning to chat about their presentation "Forgotten Frontera: The Railroad Workers of the Texas Panhandle." We discussed a bit about the history of the railroad in the TX Panhandle, and how much of it was constructed by Mexican immigrants, many of whom were hired and granted citizenship for their contribution. Hear our full interview below.
