Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The creator of Hank the Cowdog tells the story of his family's West Texas roots. Ordinary people who, through strength of character, found dignity in the challenges presented by nature and human nature.

Book News Annotation:

Proving that regionalism doesn't mean provincialism, a fifth- generation Texas rancher shares stories of his pioneer family's struggles in the rugged environment that shaped their lives. Family members encountered colorful historic Texans including governor Sam Houston and outlaw Tom Ross, and in the case of Erickson himself, fellow well-known Western authors such as John Graves. The book includes a family tree, photos, and maps. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
