Emmett Shelton, Sr. tells of stories of acquiring the land for Westlake Drive. Anticipating the renovation of the dam, Emmett bought the Stroder Tract at $10 an acre which he thought included the dam site. They financed the sale with family diamonds as collateral. Emmett worked with the City of Austin in a colorful twist of land deals Emmett made for the City to secure the adjacent land.
Emmett includes an intriguing tale of possible evidence of a Ben Thompson visit in Westlake Hills in the 1850s. In a twist at the end, city tax officials help Emmett make Westlake Hills one step closer to a reality.
Music by Polk Shelton, Emmett's son
Recorded by Emmett Shelton Sr. (1905-2000) in 1976
