Three Great Books About Texas
George W. Littlefield, Texan
By J. EVETTS HALEY
(author of The XIT Ranch, Charles Goodnight, etc.)
Littlefield was a man whom the bankers spoke of as a "cowman,"
and the cowmen spoke of as a "banker," both thereby conferring
unintended compliments. "Those who have read Haley . . . know
his capacity for straightforward writing and his knack of using
the right word in the right place. This work is even more compactly
written than his biography of Goodnight and, in some respects, is
even more readable."-Dallas Morning News.
Illustrated with numerous drawings by Harold D. Bugbee. $3.00
Kendall of the Picayune
By FAYETTE COPELAND
Chosen as the year's "Best Book About Texas" by the Texas Institute
of Letters. "A competent, detailed, and thoroughly documented biog-
raphy of one of the most interesting of American journalists."-
Stanley Walker in the New York Herald Tribune.
Illustrated. $3.00
Short Grass & Longhorns
By LAURA V. HAMNER
The informal history, in the story of its great ranches, of the Pan-
handle of Texas. "Miss Hamner has done for the Panhandle region
what J. Frank Dobie, J. Warren Hunter and other writers have done
for the older Texas cow country."--San Antonio Express.
Illustrated with old-time photographs. $2.75
