Synopsis
"Everything about Texas makes for folklore: oil, cattle, timber, and the talent to spin a yarn. Folklore is a lively art form in this state of blue skies and white caliche. Jim Gramon has brought forth this wonderful collection of tall tales and legendary characters. I am honored to be one of his legends".
Liz Carpenter"
"For a Texan who isn't me, Jim Gramon can really write!"
