Buried vaults stacked with gold bars, secret caches of coins and jewels plundered from the Spaniards and the Church, exposed veins of ore with nuggets the size of turkey eggs. Guarded by the bones of dead men, the legendary treasures of the Southwest still wait for those foolhardy or desperate enough to seek them. Death is the cure for gold fever, and the lucky few who saw the riches and lived to tell of them spent the rest of their lives searching, haunted by faulty memories, changed landscapes, and quirks of fate. It is the stories of these men and the wealth they pursued that J. Frank Dobie... View more info

Every year the Hasinai people -- the Caddo Indians of the American Southwest -- gather to ceremonially re-enact the story of their tribe in a cycle of dances that fill one night. At the heart of Hasinai existence are the cultural traditions that have carried the people through a pre-columbian farming and hunting life in what is now Texas and Louisiana, through French and Spanish domination, and through Anglo-American warfare with its resulting reservations. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 144 pages; 30972 View more info

All across Texas, crumbling walls mark the sites of military posts that once guarded the frontiers of Texas settlement. What stories would be told if these walls could speak? Their tales would be the stories of people famous and anonymous, of events portentous and trivial, of lives gay and tragic, carefree and careworn. These walls would tell of the rich heritage and history of Texas and remind us that they are irreplaceable treasures that symbolize a significant and dramatic chapter in the story of the American Southwest. ; Color Illustrations; Square 4to 9" - 11" tall; 64 pages; 296...
