description: The legends of Texas are as sizable as the state itself, and J. Frank Dobie, perhaps the west's greatest historian, devoted years of his life to collecting and cataloging them.Texas abounds with legends of buried treasure and lost mines. The Big Bend country, the Red River region, McMullen County, San Jacinto, Nacogdoches, and San Augustine are all treasure troves of tales of fabulous wealth that still lies just beyond man's reach.The stories in this first volume were originally published in 1924 by the Texas Folklore Society, and represent some of the enduring tales that have embellished the history of the state.
