Avery good read

i didn't know alot about the history of Texas, and while this book did mention legends I had read elsewhere. I would recommend this book for your library, it's a good research book.

Coronado's Children

It was an interesting book. It gave an interesting view of the history and layout of the Southwest that gave way to the many interesting and varied stories and legends that have come out of the Southwest. J. Frank Dobie does a good job of picking out all of the good ones and puts them in book form.
