The folklore of Texas' Big Bend region was still in the making
during Walter Fulcher's lifetime. Born in Lampasas County in 1887,
he worked on the Martin Ranch near Sheffield when a young man.
There he witnessed events in the last outlaw activities of the
Black Jack Ketchum gang.
He also listened to legends told almost as gossip, and some of
the legendary figures were still alive--or said to be alive,
usually in hiding. In every village there was sure to be some
ancient with a good memory and a better imagination, and Walter
Fulcher heard many versions of many tales. He has set them down as
he heard them, as simple folk tales that reflect the color of a
wild and vivid country in 400 years of its settlement.
The book has been edited, with introduction and notes, by Elton
Miles, Professor of English at Sui Ross State College.
