Overview

The state of Texas is fortunate in possessing a rich and varied folklore. This volume is composed of materials published originally in the first twenty-five volumes of the Texas Folklore Society.

From the preface by Francis Edward Abernethy: "Those old annuals are filled with real, field-collected folklore. Most of that early collected folklore had never been in print before."
