Texas and Southwestern Lore by J. Frank Dobie, ed.

"‘I am amazed at the work your organization is doing in gathering so much material.'" Thus writes Carl Sandburg. I must confess that I am becoming somewhat ‘amazed' myself. The supply of folklore in Texas and the Southwest seems inexhaustible; the growing interest in the subject is indeed heartening." —J. Frank Dobie, from the Preface

This volume number 6 of publications of the Texas Folklore Society contains folklore of the Texas-Mexican vaquero; tales and rhymes of a Texas household; lore of the Llano Estacado; names in the Old Cheyenne and Arapahoe Territory; nicknames in Texas oil fields; the devil's grotto; myths of the Tejas Indians; ballads and songs of the frontier folk; several essays on cowboys songs, Davy Crockett, and songs and ballads—grave and gay.
