Heres to the sunny slopes of long ago, was the favorite toast of John A. Lomax, cofounder of the Texas Folklore Society, which lends its name to this volume which opens with J. Frank Dobies sketch of Lomax. It is followed by Lomaxs own Cowboy Lingo, found among Dobies papers, and by two other articles on the cowboy by men whose names sound out in the history of southwestern writingEugene Manlove Rhodes and Andy Adams.The theme of the cowboy and the West is further pursued in The Cowboy Code, by Paul Patterson, The Cowboy Enters the Movies, by Mody Boatright, Billy the Kid, Hired Gun or Hero, by John O. West, and Laureates of the Western Range, by Everett A. Gillis. Next comes William D. Wittliffs collection of passages on folklore from Dobies writings.The second half of the volume includes the history of two folktales, a strange religious sect, tales of East Texas fox hunts, an oldtime charcoal burner, poke sallet, and folksongs, among others. Includes a special portfolio of J. Frank Dobie photographs.
