Dobie spent three years on horseback and in correspondence gathering the folk legends of Texas. The bulk concerns buried treasure and lost mines, including the Bowie mine on the San Saba, Spanish forts on the Nueces and silver on the Frio, alongside battlefield legends, dollars turned into bumblebees and stories of haunted places.
A 1924 collection from the great Texas folklorist, and a delight for anyone who loves the Southwest. Download the free EPUB.
