Fox who says this about this book: "This book, except for some obvious whoppers, occasionally is true, in an un-pin-downable sort of way, but the names havae been changed to protect the guilty. The short story, Congressman Caxton's Downfall, leads to guessing games as to the "real" Congressman. Great fun. Pure Texana. [1 copy available]

ANIMAL RHYMES FOR DISSONANT TIMES (SIGNED COPY)
by Robert D. Rhode, Ph.D. & Professor of English at Texas A & I. Condition: SIGNED ON TITLE PAGE. Gently pre-read, if at all, 1982 Nortex Press (Austin) hardcover & DJ (in mylar jacket), no ediiton given. There is a slight darkening of the boards at spine into panels. No idea why or what - is not on DJ. Tanning to inside covers but not to pages. Content: From the DJ: This volume consists of short rhymed poems about a variety of animals, wild and domestic, common and exotic. The galloping rhythms, multiple rhyming and playing with words should appeal to children of all ages; adult readers may be more taken by the verbal trickery, occasional irony, whimsy, and the pseudo-morality that mock the didacticism that human beings normally display toward animals. [In other words: it's clever and interesting - try it; you'll like it] Questions encouraged. [1copy available]

COURTSHIP; VALENTINE'S DAY; 1918: Three Plays from the Orphans' Home Cycle
by Horton Foote. Introduction by Reynolds Price. Condition: UNREAD 2002 Grove Press Trade Paperback, second printing. Interior clean & tight, but does have name inside front cover and edgewear. Content: Foote is a major American playwright. His disappearance from the Hollywood establishment after his 1963 Oscar for the screenplay of To Kill a Mockingbird, marks the start of work on his cycle of nine plays called The Orphan's Home. These plays are set in small town Texas between the turn of the century and 1928. They are loosely based on Foote's family and follow the marriage of Horace Robedaux and Elizabeth Vaughan through the turmoil of World War I, social and economic struggle, and alcoholism, insanity, and epidemic. The three plays anthologized here are the sixth, seventh, and eighth in the cycle. Their stage language is lyrical realism, which builds quietly to a depth of feeling and insight that rivals O'Neill at his best. Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

Cars and other machines are invading - stinking up the air and threatening to replace horse travel. As Hewey struggles against the relentless stream of progress, he comes to realize that the simple life of his childhood is gone, that a man can't live a life whose time has passed and that every choice he makes - even those that lead to happiness - requires sacrifice. The 1995 TV miniseries, true to the book, was directed by and starred Tommy Lee Jones, Sissy Spacek, Matt Damon, Sam Shepherd, the great Bruce McGill, Frances McDormand, and Wilfred Brimley. A cameo performance by Larry Mahan, one of the greatest rodeo cowboys ever, adds some wonderful spice and authenticity. If you can find a copy, grab it. [1 copy available]

KEEPERS OF THE EARTH (Signed copy)
by Laverne Harrell Clark. Jamie Suddeth cover art; B&W photos by author. . Condition: NEW 1998 Cinco Puntos Press (Hell Yes! Texas Women Series) Trade Paperback, first edition. Tiny edgewear. Signed by author. Content: This is the story of a Texas community, its local black conjurer and land-owning white family brought to confusion by oil-money greed, resurgent familial feelings and jealousy. The author leads readers throught the rituals of Uncle Cefus' "great hand" in reuniting the murdered coachwhip snakes with their rightful homeland, and in the process leads us to believe that doing right by others may do more for luck and success than any amount of hard work. Not only is the novel poetic, but passionate, clearly exhibiting the author's love of folklore. The ficticious account is equally instructive in the lost art of conjuring (which slipped away in the 1960's). An enjoyable and fun book to read. This book received the Medicine Pipe Bearer's Award for Best First Novel from The Western Writers of America, 1998. [1 copy available]

HILL COUNTRY
by Janice Woods Windle. Beautiful cover painting by Sally Minter. Condition: UNREAD 1998 Longstreet hardcover & DJ (in mylar jacket), first printing. Content: The author of True Women uses her grandmother's unfinished autobiography to depict the resilience and gritty determination of a Texas prairie woman. In the late 1870s, when Laura Woods is seven, her mother fights off a marauding Apache party and Laura gets her first, intriguing glimpse of "white Indian" Herman Lehmann, who was kidnapped and raised in the tribe. When Laura is a teenager, she falls in love with Herman, but the affair is secret and fleeting, and Laura takes a place in society by marrying Peter Woods, the scion of a prominent family. Laura hopes that Peter will make a career in government, an ambition that she craves herself. But it is her friend Rebekah Baines Johnson who will become the wife of a congressman and mother of a president, and Laura realizes she must work behind the scenes if she is ever to put her family on the map. While raising her brood of seven children, she campaigns for Teddy Roosevelt, lobbies for the suffragette cause and seemingly touches nearly every event in Texas history. Though the dramatic events of Laura's life are more colorful than many a made-up saga. Laura Woods's story is a reminder that, regardless of their absence from ballots and voting booths, women played an essential part in shaping the country's history. Questions welcome.

PAISANOS: A Folklore Miscellany
edited by Francis Edward Abernethy. Line drawings by Linda Miller Roach. Condition: Gently pre-read 1978 Encino Press (& Texas Folklore Society) hardcover & DJ (in mylar jacket), stated first edition. DJ is price-clipped. No problems, just pre-read. Content: This is Texas Folklore Society publication # XLI. This is a collection of essays on folklore generally, but mainly on Texas folklore. The miscellany has long been the natural form for publications of the Texas Folklore Society. The paisanos, or fellow countrymen of the Society, are a miscellaneous group themselves. Their interests are as miscellaneous as they are, and the annuals are a means of exchanging information and sharing it with an interested public. Paisanos begins, rightly enough, with J.Frank Dobie's well-known article on paisanos which the Society first published in 1954. The rest of the book is divided into four sections: folk tales, folklore in journalism, reflections on the lore of the past, and some analyses of folklore generally. It concludes with a listing and discussion of publishers of Texas folklore. The roadrunner motif is carried out by Linda Miller Roach, whose sketches are used throughout the book. The four different folklore sections in the book are separated by photographic studies of the Anasazi Indian pueblos, a small town printing press, a country store, and cock fighting. Paisanos covers a wide field of folklore, from the academic to the popular, from the scientific to the mystical, and from studies of uses of the past to practices in folklore that are still very much a part of our lives.

The TRIAL OF DAVY CROCKETT (Novella) Inscribed by author.
by Fletcher Rhoden. Condition: NEW 2001 Trafford Publishing (Canada) Trade Paperback. First edition, second printing. Content: INSCRIBED by Rhoden to Texas historian, Stephen Hardin. "For Stephen L. (?) Hardin - Thanks for the invaluable contributions of your book to mine. I hope you enjoy it. Regards, Fletcher Rhoden 7/01" Reviewer: An extremely well-written and carefully-crafted piece, and the author obviously took great pains with his research. The author questions whether Davy Crockett was truly killed during the battle for the Alamo - or whether he was captured and executed by the Mexicans. The Trial of Davy Crockett presents a hypothetical dialogue between Crockett and Generalissimo Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, which collide in an articulate, wry, thought-provoking, and no-holds-barred verbal conflict regarding the Texian Revolution and America's unrestrained expansionism. Neither Crockett or Santa Anna is stereotyped in the roles of hero or villain; their opposing points of view are given a clear and fair hearing, for all to see and judge for themselves. Based entirely on the facts of the revolution." [1 copy available]

THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN: A Novel of Galveston's Great Storm of 1900
by Ron Rozelle. Unfortunately, no photos but for the vintage Galveston photos on the wrap-around cover art. Condition: NEW 2000 Texas Review Press (part of Texas A & M Press) Trade Paperback, first edition, first printing. Content: Reviewer: "Galveston, Texas is the sight of our nation's worst natural disaster in our history. Rozelle summered in Galveston as a child and that began his fascination with the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. He was driven to tell the story in a manner that was true to history and striking enough to recreate the terror of those in the path of this storm. This book is a fictionalized account of the Galveston Hurricane of September 1900. While the weather events are factual, the people he portrays are a mixture of real people and those that Mr. Rozelle created to add depth and heart to his story. His research into the facts of the hurricane's ferocious assault of Galveston and the utter destruction of life and property is vividly portrayed. The characters bring a rawness of emotion, making the reality of the vast loss achingly real. This is a realistic and intense tale of Mother Nature in full fury." [1 copy available]
