Running the gamut from elucidating the linguistics of The National Verb of Texas to listing the attractions of the Grayson County community formerly known as Toadsuck, W. F. Strong's radio program, Stories from Texas, continues to entertain listeners from Amarillo to Zapata. Drawing from his two previous written collections and other works, the well-known author, raconteur, and radio personality has gathered the cream of the crop into this collection, The Best Stories From Texas Some of Them Are True!
Now, the best of the best has finally arrived, as W. F. Strong brings his fans what we have hoped for years would come to be, a kind of 'greatest hits' of his favorite stories, legendary Texas Country Reporter Bob Phillips writes in the foreword. It will, if only for a few minutes at a time, transport you to a world that somehow will seem like the way things might oughta be.
This collection of Strong's most-requested Stories from Texas includes the earthy wisdom of common Texas folk; highlights from Texas art, literature, and film; and anecdotes drawn from the out-of-the-way corners of Lone Star lore, providing hours of enjoyment to a wide audience of readers in Texas and beyond.
