Texas Stories consists of true-life stories -- lore -- gathered from cowboys, ranchers and others. The anecdotes are arranged in the form of 20 profiles/character sketches. Humorous, entertaining, poignant --the stories are nostalgia in the present tense. Equal parts Charles Kuralt, Garrison Keillor, Studs Terkel and William Least Heat-Moon, they are people stories with a cowboy theme. Whether you grew up in the country or you're just nostalgic for the ranch you DIDN'T grow up on, you'll enjoy these stories.
