Collection of Texas Stories

About the Book

The book consists of five short stories. They cover a range from treasure hunting to modern day working cowboys. There is a story about two retired gentlemen from South Texas fishing in the Rocky Mountains. One is about deer hunting in central Texas. The treasure hunting story is about a beach comber that lives along the Gulf Coast of Texas. One story is about the Texas revolution in 1836. This book has some factual locations in it. They are all fiction. Some are written with things that happened in my life to me. The story about fishing in the rocky mountains never happened. I do have a friend that owns a farm/ranch in South Texas. We go there sometimes and in the evenings we talk or tell stories. That is as close to actual fact as any one of them get.
