1. Just read a book about this camp from the viewpoint of a young girl. No idea what the name of the book was but it

was a part of Texas history I had no clue about. Anyone know the name of it? I think it took place at the camp in Crystal City.

2. Could it possibly be this book, found it via Search. And it does sound like a must read...
