Archer County, Texas
Archer County sits in North Texas, not far from Wichita Falls. It’s cowboy country here. The landscape is all rolling prairies and mesquite trees. Oil derricks pepper the horizon.
Archer City, the county seat, was home to famous author Larry McMurtry. His bookstore still draws literary types from all over. Ranching is big business here.
The county is small, but the people are proud. Summers are blazing hot, winters can be bone-chilling. You’ll find some of the friendliest folks around in these parts.
