It is for good reason that J. Frank Dobie is known as the Southwests 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 movingly and unpretentiously spins the tales of our collective heritages. This he does in Tales of OldTime Texas, a heartwarming array of twentyeight stories filled with vivid characters, exciting historical episodes, and traditional themes. As Dobie himself says: Any tale belongs to whoever can best tell it. Here, then, is a collection of the best Texas talesby the Texan who can best tell them.Dobies recollections include such classics in Lone Star State lore as the tale of Jim Bowies 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. These stories, and many more, make Tales of OldTime Texas a beloved classic certain to endure for generations.

Disappointed by the Quality
While the stories were decent, the printing quality left a lot to be desired. A couple of pages were smudged and hard to read. I wanted to love this book more, but it fell short in presentation.
