Book excerpt: Handed down via oral tradition, Texas folk sayings are expressive, unique, useful, delightful, quite descriptive, oftentimes bizarre, and always entertaining. "Bubbas" have a way of communicating that can leave the rest of us wondering what's been said. Much of the colorful language of these rural folk harks back to the early days of Texas settlers, and has been in use ever since. Go into any small Texas town, sit in the local cafe at breakfast time, and you may well hear almost every phrase in this book. Bubba Speak is almost required reading for anyone new to the state of Texas. Like the foreign language books that we carry overseas, this book will enable the visitor to communicate and even understand most of the conversation. So "set a spell" as you take an excursion through the colorful language and expressions of Bubba Speak. Read these expressions out loud they sound better that way.

Book excerpt: Author of THE GLORY DAYS OF BUFFALO EGBERT a.k.a People of the Whistling Waters Henrytown, Louisiana… It’s barely on the map. It wasn’t until 1962 that it was even considered a viable speed-trap. And yet… In 1934 Georgia aristocrat Aaron Brooks graduated from the Atlanta Seminary. The son of a wealthy family, surely Aaron wouldn’t actually accept the pastorate of some backwater Louisiana town, especially in the height of the Great Depression. And yet…Aaron boarded the train… The people of Henrytown were struck by his startling good looks and gracious manner. The consensus was that he was too pretty and too helpless to survive inside a hardscrabble town. But when they heard him preach, they stopped praying for a new pastor. Henrytown and its people, in all their varied and wondrous forms, gradually became Aaron’s family. His life was rich and content. But then it radically changed in 1941 when America was thrust into WWII. American service men and women needed chaplains. Aaron boarded a train, but this time he was leaving behind his adored wife and children, and the many treasured souls of Henrytown, Louisiana.

Download or read book Lawmen of the Old West written by Del Cain and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the law officers who served the West during the last half of the nineteenth century drifted from one side of the law to the other and sold their talents to whichever side offered the most advantage. Others used their positions as cover for their criminal activities. The lawmen in this book were serious offenders against the laws they had at one time sworn to uphold. Their skills were honed in range wars and family feuds and polished along the cattle trails, in the saloons and banks, and on the trains of the West. Some of them did good work enforcing the law when that was their job. Others had equally successful careers on the other side of the law. More than one kicked out their lives at the end of ropes strung up by citizens who were outraged by their abuse of the trust that went along with the badge they wore. These are their stories.
