One for the Fraidy Cats

Well, it’s August. There’s just nothing fun about this month. It’s too hot and football hasn’t started yet. With that in mind, how about something completely different? Let’s talk phobias. Maybe this will get your overheated brains working again.

Growing Up In Bandera

Back in the day when me and my friends were riding bikes around Bandera they just had one gear. My bike was a second hand early Christmas gift when I received it one day back in the early 50s. It was pretty plain when compared to the bicycles on the market today.

Frontier Tales
The Trail Drivers of Texas

How do stories told by simple men become a part of our Texas history? About 100 years ago, there was an urgent need to capture the stories of the original trail drivers before they were all gone. An estimated 25,000 to 35,000 men drove six to 10 million head of cattle up trails such as the Chisholm Trail and the Western Trail from the end of the Civil War around 1866 to the early 1890s before barb wire and the railroads made the cattle drives obsolete.  This brief moment in time would have a lasting impact on our culture and our idea of our American identity.
