Inventing the “Magic Valley” of South Texas, 1905-1941
The Magic Valley came to be because of the image created. They persuade people to come like women and men to live a better life and grow as much as they can because the crops grow like magic. I can see how the pictures can make the valley a myth. Tourist, travelers, and other publishers create an image over the valley. We create image of the valley and make people believe it’s the best place to live on earth. I personally love the valley because it’s what I call home. To me the valley consists of just land and fields to crop plants. It’s a place where Anglos claim ownership over land and Hispanics can be the labors, but in other people’s eyes, they place an image on how the land should be and look like. The valley is built on land and water sales by place-making creating a place-image of what they expect the valley to be; a farming frontier. We focus on the place image of the land that is created by the land developers. Just like Shary, he focused on the land to make it what the people want to see. I think it was a great idea of planting grapefruit to attract people. He used texts, images, and performances like Montgomery’s pamphlet to get people to think that the valley is a place to live. Shay created pamphlets that reached out to farmers that grew grapefruit and gave them the ideal way of living here in the valley. The magic valley was created by the texts, images and performances the land developers had put out for people to see and attract to. I think that the land developer’s main goal was to give people the image of what a great living it would be living here in the valley, where you can crop every month and live happy.
That was the developers main goal, but the reason was to sell more land that he owned. They made it look so great and profitable which it was because of the cheap labor.
Deletei think that in a way Anglos now a days still look at the valley the same way that their ancestors did.
