Their Own Stories , Uvalde, Texas, 1939. Faithful reporting of realistic detail. Southwest Texas, mostly ranch life. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 1951. This biography of a newspaperman and inventor brings out sides of pioneer life that emphasis on fighting, farming, and ranching generally overlooks.
Dances are among the sports.
