Books from U.S. Senator's Library

Recently, we have listed more books on ebay from the estate of U.S. Senator Ralph Yarborough or Texas. Most of these books are first editions that were given to the senator by other senators in the 1960s. In the above photo is Yarborough to the left next to Governor Connally and Vice President Lyndon Johnson. It is no secret that Yarborough and Johnson had a heated rivalry. One key reason for President Kennedy coming to Texas and Dallas was to cool their rivalry which was causing conflict within the Democratic Party. They were riding in the motorcade when the President was shot.
