Book excerpt: The Hill Country of Texas is a place of dramatic beauty & subtle charm. Its folklore is a rough blend of frontier hardship, country wisdom, & tough personal experience. It is typical of the folklore of much of the American West. The legends, history, & folklore of this region remain alive in the words of the oldtimers of this region. This book presents much of this history & folklore, in the words of several of the Hill Country's oldtimers. Many of these oldtimers are descendents of the earliest pioneers. The stories, jokes, legends & experiences of the pioneers have been handed down to these oldtimers. Most take considerable pride in their knowledge of it, for it is not only the history of their people, but of their land & culture as well. These stories were collected by Greg Walton, & are presented here for the first time. They reveal a gentle & tenacious people, who take their living from the land, & in return give it their love & sweat. The story of this region is one worth knowing, for it illustrates much of what makes America special.
