Tóm tắt

Annotation The state of Texas is fortunate in possessing a rich and varied folklore. When white settlers from the Old South came in bringing their African slaves, they found the Mexicans in possession, and before them there were the Indians. These four racial groups maintained their separate identities, languages, religions, and cultures, making their folkways and folklore distinct and characteristic. This volume is composed of materials published originally in the first twenty-five volumes of the Texas Folklore Society.
