' These] vignettes of Brownsville people, part real and part fiction, capture the character of our border community. The reader becomes involved with the characters and the stories. It's as though the essence of our society and culture had been opened to view through a historical prism. And the stories are just plain pleasurable to read.' -Dr. Anthony Knopp, Ph.D, Professor of History at the University of Texas at Brownsville, Texas

The history of the Old West has deep roots in South Texas where the Wild Horse Desert was a lawless land controlled by no authority. The western region of South Texas, from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, stretching west and south to the Rio Grande, was the birthplace of the big cattle ranches, the cattle barons, rustlers, hide thieves, outlaws, and bad men operating on both sides of the border. Murphy Givens brings the stories of the Old West to life in "Great Tales From the History of South Texas"

A music teacher is found dead hanging from a rope in his class room. The school becomes haunted for several years. A group of friends do not believe in ghosts and they go and try to prove it by investigating graves and people around the town. They find their answer and a little bit more. Bobby and Desi find that there are some similarities to the way they approach someone they have deep feelings for just like the music teacher and that death is not always the end of those feelings. There is an old folklore legend of a severed hand that appeares when children are naughty and they don't do as they are told. An aging grandfather tells the story to his grandchild of his adventures playing dangerously and hunting the Mano Pachona. These are not true stories, so if you hear something outside at night or if you think your house might have a ghost lurking in the dark watching you sleep, it is just a strange coincedence good night.

These tales trace the Texas story, from Cabeza de Vaca who trekked barefoot across the country recording the first accounts of Indian life, to impresarios like Stephen F. Austin and Don Martín DeLeón who brought settlers into Mexican Texas. There are visionaries like Padre José Nicolás Ballí, the Singer family, and Sam Robertson, who tried and failed to develop Padre Island into the wonderland that it is today. There are legendary characters like Sally Skull who had five husbands and may have killed some of them, and Josiah Wilbarger who was scalped and lived another ten years to tell about it. Also included are the stories of Shanghai Pierce, cattleman extraordinaire, who had no qualms about rounding up other folks’ calves, and Tol Barret who drilled Texas’ first oil well over thirty years before Spindletop changed the world. The Sanctified Sisters got rich running a commune for women, and millionaire oilman Edgar B. Davis gave away his money as fast as he made it. Sam Houston, Jean Lafitte, Antonio López de Santa Anna, Lucy Kidd-Key, Minnie Fisher Cunningham, all these characters and many more—early-day adventurers, Civil War heroes, and latter-day artists and musicians—created the patchwork called Texas.

Central Texas is an area as diverse culturally as it is geographically. Bordered by Hill Country in the west, green farmland in the east and Waco and New Braunfels in the north and south, this area has drawn settlers from around the globe for over two centuries, leaving their mark and their stories along the way. From a surprising story of nineteenth-century psych ops at Fort Mason and what really happened to Bevo, the UT longhorn, in 1920 to Mrs. Ross's Croghan Cobbler recipe and rumors of a Lone Star visit by old Abe himself, historian Mike Cox regales readers with over fifty stories about the fascinating people, history and places of middle Texas.
