Amon Giles Carter Sr.
Born December 11, 1879 in a log cabin near Crafton, Tx, in Wise County. Died
/June 23, 1955
Parents: William Henry Carter and Josephine Ream Carter. William Carter was
a farmer and blacksmith. His mother was originally part of La Reunion, a
failed French socialistic commune that is now part of Dallas
From a log cabin birth on the prairie to friendships with
America's most influential men, including five presidents, Amon
Carter became the most famous Texan of his era.
Beginning as founder pioneer in American radio, television and
aviation. His energies were spent on building West Texas and Fort
Worth and he was successful establishing Big Bend National Park and
Texas Tech University, and in luring -- among others -- Convair (now
Lockeed), General Motors and American Airlines to "Where The West
Begins," meaning Fort Worth; the phrase is a civic slogan he made
known around the world.
