Ima Hogg

"Miss Ima", daughter of Governor James Stephen Hogg, founded the Houston Symphony, served on the Houston School Board, established the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, and restored several historic Texas buildings. In 1966, she gave her own house, filled with the priceless Early American art and furniture she had collected, as the Bayou Bend Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. This book describes its history as well as that of an extraordinary Texas woman.
