Title: Before Texas Changed
Description: "Growing up in Fort Worth never lacked in excitement for David Murph. In this memoir of life in the '50s, Murph recalls a mischievous childhood punctuated by adventures in driving, occasional acts of accidental arson, more than one trip to the jailhouse, and countless other tales. His adventures included broken windows, brushes with blindness, bull riding, and a pet spider monkey, alongside lessons about life and death and the importance of family. Murph's story brings to life a time when television was new and exciting, parents sided with the law, and people were to be trusted more often than not."--Jacket.
