Folklore in Motion : Texas Travel Lore

Folklore: In All of Us, In All We Do (PTFS LXIII) Kenneth L. Untiedt, ed. This Publication of the Texas Folklore Society includes articles on a variety of topics. One chapter looks at how folklore and history complement one another, while historical records provide facts about dates, places, and names, folklore brings those events and people to life by making them relevant to us. Several articles examine the cultural roles women fill. Other articles feature folklore of particular groups, including oil field workers, mall carriers, doctors, engineers, police officers, horse traders, and politicians. Book jacket.
