Central Texas is an area as diverse culturally as it is geographically.
Bordered by Hill Country in the west, green farmland in the east and
Waco and New Braunfels in the north and south, this area has drawn
settlers from around the globe for over two centuries, leaving their
mark and their stories along the way. From a surprising story of
nineteenth-century psych ops at Fort Mason and what really happened to
Bevo, the UT longhorn, in 1920 to Mrs. Ross's Croghan Cobbler recipe and
rumors of a Lone Star visit by old Abe himself, historian Mike Cox
regales readers with over fifty stories about the fascinating people,
history and places of middle Texas.
