Dobie, James Frank TALES OF OLD-TIME TEXAS
Univ of Texas Pr 1984 Softcover New
0292780699 New and unmarked. Clean, bright and crisp. ; Trade PB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; J. Frank Dobie is known as the Southwest's master storyteller. With his eye for color and detail, his ear for the rhythm of language and song, and his heart open to the simple truth of folk wisdom and ways, he unpretentiously spins the tales of our collective heritages. This is a heartwarming array of twenty-eight stories filled with vivid characters, exciting historical episodes, and traditional themes, a collection of the best Texas tales--by the Texan who can best tell them. They include such classics as the tale of Jim Bowie's knife, the legend of the Texas bluebonnet, the story of the Wild Woman of the Navidad, and the account of the headless horseman of the mustangs. Other stories in this outstanding collection regale us with odd and interesting characters and events: the stranger of Sabine Pass, the Apache secret of the Guadalupes, the planter who gambled away his bride, and the Robinhooding of Sam Bass. 9058
