Texas Tales Your Teacher Never Told You

Charlie Eckhardt, a newspaper columnist and owner of the Lone Star Barber Shop in Seguin, Texas, spins his tales as only Charlie can. This book covers such topics as the little-known first Texas revolution and the counterrevolution of 1838-1840; the Linville raid; the legend of the Yellow Rose of Texas; Jim Bowie`s famous knife and Sam Colt`s equally famous pistol; and many more. From the early days of Texas up to the saving of the oil industry, Charlie tells `em like he heard `em and assures that some of the stories are actually true. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
