"What I looked for in putting together this collection were stories that stand the test of time, that offer a glimpse into the history and culture of this huge part of the state that we call West Texas, and that can be told in a few pages. Some of the tales are amusing, some are nostalgic, some historical, some dramatic, some personal. I present them here in pretty much chronological order, beginning with several stories from the West Texas frontier, continuing through the first half of the twentieth century, and on to more modern days"--
