Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"The writings in Features and Fillers are a sampling of Texas traditional life in the last half of the 20th century. These full-time and part-time journalists have worked many years for large and small newspapers, ranging from far West Texas to deep East Texas, from the Panhandle to the Valley. Their subjects reflect the writers' own interests, but they reflect also the interests of the people in their communities. Their subjects are the traditions, customs, and practices of the people in communities as diverse as the state is wide. Their subjects are the folklore of Texas."--BOOK JACKET.
