Three Men in Texas: Bedichek, Webb, and

Klappentext This book is a tribute to "an incomparable triumvirate." "One was a naturalist! one a historian! and one a chronicler! but each of them was each of these. The manly love between them! a handsome thing in times and places blighted by great ugliness and banality! shone from them into their friends and contemporaries! and they shared themselves freely with those younger than they who went to them wishing to learn from them." Most of this collection of writing by friends of Roy Bedichek! Walter Prescott Webb! and J. Frank Dobie originally appeared in special editions of the Texas Observer devoted to each of the three men. Some pieces were! however! written expressly for this volume. They have been edited by the editor and general manager of the Observer! who is also the author of Dark Star: Hiroshima Reconsidered in the Life of Claude Eatherly. Zusammenfassung Essays on the three famous friends, originally published in the Texas Observer.
