Corners of Texas
Publications of the Texas Folklore Society,
Volume LII
The title was taken from J. Frank Dobie
and Dick Holland, who tell about library
corners that contain writings that are forever
Texas. Holland's essay, "A Corner Forever
Texas: The Southwestern Writers Collection,"
is the leading essay in the book. Corners of
Texas begins with a special section about the
history of the Society itself and its "sainted
elders." These introductory historical essays
can be considered as supplemental to what-
ever is forthcoming in the formal history of
the Texas Folklore Society. Corners is a tradi-
tional TFS miscellany, the best of the Soci-
ety's papers over the past three years-from
lynchings to el pato boat building; from sun-
bonnets to hammered dulcimers; from jokes
about droughts and lawyers to tales of folk,
gospel, and blues music; from gravemarkers
to bottle trees, and more.
