Texas Tradition by Ross Phares Pelican Publishing Co 1975 2nd printing
Title: Texas Tradition - True Tales of the Wit, Wisdom and Courage of Texas and Texans
Author: Ross Phares
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Pelican Publishing Co 1975
Edition: 2nd printing
ISBN: 9780882890647
Size: 5.5 X 8
Synopsis: From the Jacket: Here is a herd of true tales of the wit, wisdom, and whimsy of Texas and Texans by one of the state's most accomplished chroniclers.
Rich in legend, this volume recounts tales of the rugged, down-to-earth individuals who blazed trails and pioneered the new land. Containing hundreds of swashbuckling stories of gunfights, family feuds, bravery, braggadocio, and understatement, Texas Tradition provides a rare insight into one of America's most storied states.
Without a doubt, no other state of the Union can lay claim to the immense diversity and vitality that has always characterized the state of Texas. With huge, sprawling metropolises such as Dallas and Houston, and quaint, colorful small towns such as Steal Easy and Gourd Neck, Texas is ever a land of contrast.
Then, too, as a producer of military heroes such as Jonathan Wainwright and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Texas has been a continuous source of strong national leaders for well over a century.
This book is a testament to the rugged individuality Americans associate with the Lone Star State. In many ways, Texas Tradition has captured, once and for all, the authentic Texas spirit.
Ross Phares, a resident of Shreveport, Louisiana, has written widely on pioneer history. He is the author of Reverend Devil, which documents the fabulous exploits of highwayman John A. Murrell, Cavalier in the Wilderness, and Bible in Pocket, Gun in Hand.
Phares is presently researching and writing his fifth book, The Governors of Texas.
