The One and Only Dobie

Texas' most original historian and storyteller is the focus of this fine biography. Born in 1888, this giant of a man grew up in the bleak South Texas brush country that he would later immortalize in his many books. This volume chronicles his youth, his years at the University of Texas, and his devotion to his beloved subject matter. The photos of Dobie and his family are true treasures. Any Dobie collector will want this book.
