Amon G. Carter
Amon G. Carter, Sr. (December 11, 1879 – June 23, 1955) was the creator and publisher of the ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram'', and a nationally known civic booster for Fort Worth, Texas. A legacy in his will was used to create Fort Worth's Amon Carter Museum,〔http://www.agcf.org/history-of-the-foundation.html〕 which was founded by his daughter, Ruth Carter Stevenson, in January 1961.
==Biography==
Carter was born Giles Amon Carter in Crafton, Texas (he would change his name as an adult). After his mother died in 1892, he moved away from his remaining family, to Bowie, Texas, where he supported himself with a variety of odd jobs. At those jobs, he learned salesmanship, and became a travelling salesman as a young man.〔http://www.cartermuseum.org/about/amon-carter-bio〕 Bowie Residents have recalled that he was one of the original "chicken & bread boys" who sold sandwiches represented as "chicken" to passengers at the rail station during the depression.〔http://www.bowietxchamber.org/ChickenandBreadDays-17〕 The sandwiches, it was thought, were really made of rabbits that the boys had hunted. To this day Bowie has an annual Chicken & Bread Festival each October.
