The Prairie Flower: A Tale of the Indian Border
Author: Gustave Aimard
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Like most of the other books by a prolific writer Gustave Aimard this book is dedicated to the topics of Latin America, the American frontier, and Indians. Here, like in other of his books, he questions the attitude of Europeans toward Indians and studies their morals, like raising the question of whether the Indians are really too cruel, or it's a mere part of the image created by Europeans for other Europeans to justify the conquest of rich territories.

THE LEGENDS OF TEXAS
Author: J. Frank Dobie
Publisher: Pelican Publishing Company
ISBN: 1455607266
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
There's treasure buried beneath Texas soil or stowed in caves covered over by stones. It might be the mother lode that's waiting to be uncovered or some Spanish pirate's chest of jewels and doubloons. Nearby a ghostly figure walks the dunes, or is it just an illusion brought on by the approaching dust storm? In this new mass market edition, J. Frank Dobie has collected accounts of some of the best known tales of booty hidden in Texas hill and dale as well as some eerie stories and the origins of Texas flowers, names, and streams. You will learn about "The Enchanted Rock in Llano County," "Lafitte's Treasure Vault," and "The Holy Spring of Father Margil at Nacogdoches." These lively stories reveal the love for adventure, independence, and mystery that has made Texas the state it is. And just as Dobie hoped, with these tales readers from all over can see the "richness of their own traditions." Dobie believed that worthwhile literature about this region had to be derived from an understanding of its life, lore, and history. Legends of Texas indirectly led to the founding of the Texas Folklore Society, the nation's second oldest folklore organization.
