As we close out #TexasHistoryMonth, let's return to the classics. From longhorns to famed hunters to the secret treasures of the Southwest, folklorist J. Frank Dobie captured the traditions and richness of rural life in Texas during the days of the open range. In @UTpress's own words: "It is for good reason that 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 movingly and unpretentiously spins the tales of our collective heritages."
