Thank you to everyone who attended this year's Parker Reunion. We are blessed to have a family so rich in heritage and deep rooted in the history of Texas and Oklahoma. Hard to believe another year has come and gone. As we look on towards 2009, we hope even more people come to partake in the celebration of the Parker Family who established their roots in Texas some 175 years ago.

Please check back in the near future for other pictures from this year's reunion.

Spread the word...next year's Parker Reunion is July 17-19, 2009. Mark your calendars and see you there!

A bit of rain on Friday didn't keep the Parkers away. This year's reunion was a success as friends and family gathered once more to celebrate the rich Parker Heritage. It was good to see everyone again and we are already looking forward to next year.

Order Now! Return: The Parker Story
Return is one of the best known stories of the Southwest--of Cynthia Ann Parker, Quanah Parker, James Parker, Sul Ross, Sam Houston, Isaac Parker, and other members of the Parker family--updated and retold with previously unpublished facts and documents. The names of the participants loom large in the history of Texas and the Southwest. Their response to the challenges they faced lifted them from the ranks of the ordinary, and they have become the subjects of legends which live on today. Return places them center stage, separating fact from fiction, and giving an old story a new life.
