Patrick Dearen went in search of buried treasures, not gold or silver or
jewels, but untapped tales worthy of J. Frank Dobie. And he found for
Lone Star Lost ten such stories that spring from the bedrock, shared
with the author by native sons and daughters who know that the real
treasure is our Texas heritage. These stories grew from the land--the
Texas soil that gives birth to history and sprinkles it with legend.
From the piney woods on the east to the Chihuahuan Desert on the west,
from the subtropical marshes on the south to the mountains on the north,
Texas is alive with the kind of wonder that has sent men in quest of
their own Cibolas for generations.
