From El Chupacabra to the Marx Brothers, the author has a talent for digging into Texas's most unusual history. Strange as they may seem, many of these Texas-sized legends are surprisingly true, like Pancho Villa's film contract and the notorious Crash at Crush, a staged train collision and failed publicity stunt that turned tragic. Whether fact or lore, each tale is irrefutable part of a unique and fascinating heritage that invigorates the spirit like a Texas frontier remedy. Description text copyright 2017 BooksForComfort.
