Synopsis
Excerpt from Legends of Texas
Finally, let it not be thought that this volume will conclude the collection and publication of Texas legends. I make an appeal at once personal and ofi'icial: it is for more legends, new or variant, to add to the ripening second volume that I trust may come forth at no very remote date.
