Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Anyone from the Texas borderlands, as well as anyone who enjoys regional folklore, will find this collection interesting and highly enjoyable! The stories range from the mysterious ("The Marfa Lights") to the chilling ("Chisos Ghosts") to the amusing ("Bobcat Carter"). There's an excellent chapter devoted to the infamous Indian hunter John Glanton (who features prominently in Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian"), and many others detailing the historical and religious folklore of the area. I used to check this book out of my elementary school library constantly back in the mid 1980s, and twenty years later, I still enjoy re-reading these stories!
