Book excerpt: The 2013 75th Anniversary Fort Griffin Fandangle, an outdoor historical performance depicting late 19th century Texas, tells of the progression of the Fort Griffin area from prairie land to military fort to a town called The Flat. Although not completely historically accurate nor culturally inclusive, the author, directors, and local participants skillfully depict early Texas history through the Fandangle. The Fandangle is further shaped by social and cultural American and Texas narratives including Southern and Western narratives. The performance is placed within current outdoor historical performance, public history, and secondary education disciplines. This came about through a reissued 1966 Outdoor Theatre survey administered to current Outdoor Theatre members, through a reissued 1998 Rosenzweig and Thelen public history survey administered to Fandangle participants, and through a discussion on the potential use of the performance within secondary education. It is proposed that the Fandangle has a place within academic studies—it provides insight into created myths and memory, collective Texas history, ways to study and learn history, and community identity and cohesiveness, all while preserving a perceived cultural identity of the community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Englishman Frank Collinson went to Texas in 1872, when he was seventeen, to work on Will Noonan’s ranch near Castroville. He lived the rest of his life in the southwestern United States, and at the age of seventy-nine began writing about the Old West he knew and loved. He had a flair for writing, a phenomenal memory, and a passion for truth that is evident in what he wrote and said. His writings for Ranch Romances, his letters, and transcriptions of his conversations have been arranged here in roughly chronological order, so that their importance for frontier history is readily apparent. Collinson ranged the West in his writings as he did in person, telling of the last tragic days of buffalo hunting on the Plains; clashes between hunters or cowboys and the Plains Indians; the character of trail drivers; and the definitive nature of violence, particularly at gun-point. J. Frank Dobie said of Collinson: "In the realm of frontier chronicles, the writing of educated Englishmen. . . men with the perspective of civilization, with imagination, and a lust for primitive nature, stand out. To this class of men belongs Frank Collinson."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-hundred-fifty miles west of Dallas, on a gently rolling prairie that was once the predatory domain of the Plains Indians, lies Shackelford County. Anglo-American settlers began arriving in the 1850s to raise livestock and cultivate crops near the Clear Fork of the Brazos River. To protect the settlers from the Indians, the US Army established Fort Griffin in 1867. In true Wild West fashion, the raucous town of Fort Griffin sprang up nearby to service the soldiers, cattle drovers, and buffalo hunters. In 1874, Albany became the county seat, and with the arrival of the Texas Central Railroad in 1881, then the oil and gas boom in 1910, both Albany and Moran flourished while Fort Griffin folded. Today, Shackelford Countys economy is based on cattle ranching, farming, petroleum, and hunting. Visitors enjoy shopping Albanys beautifully restored Main Street and taking in the Old Jail Art Center, the stately limestone courthouse, the Fort Griffin State Historic Site, and the Fort Griffin Fandangle.
