Nature Notebook
 

In 1973, the booklet, "Our comic friend the Prairie Dog and the story of Prairie Dog Town, Texas" was published.  It was written and illustrated by Frank Oliver in cooperation with A. C. Hamilton, Director of the City of Lubbock's Parks and Recreation Department from 1944-1973.  A link below will take you to a Microsoft Word document, which contains the excerpts from the text of this booklet.
