Within Texas is a diversity of uniqueness from east to west and from north to south. How special is Texas? Sometimes it takes someone from the outside looking in to tell us how truly blessed we are to be Texans. This is exactly what Californian Douglas R. Pricer and native Texan Neil H. Wright, III have done in their book, Roughneck, Stories from Sundown Texas. In painting a picture of
Sundown, Texas, the authors started with an empty canvas, the vast Llano
Estacado. The reader first sees the foundational elements of this picture in
the prehistoric and native inhabitants that roamed this vast empty land and
then the European explorers who passed through the area with descriptions of
the vast emptiness and seas of grass. However the real detail and
composition of this picture is painted in the people who came to this land
to stay. In the closing lines of
the book author Douglas R. Pricer reflects: Amen June 18, 2006 |
