In the beginning it was happy trails. Then some dummy invented the
horseless carraige and things haven't been the same since. As
ribbons of concrete spread over the horse trails, so did the fun
and frustration. This book explores some of that highway fun, both
past and present. Included are unique pictures of strange vehicles,
early gas stations, convenience stores, the evolutions of the stop
light, unusual roadside signs, the Texas billboard hall of fame,
unusual accidents, strange things seen when driving, and much, much
more.

of guns in North Texas after WWII? Was John Wilkes Booth killed or
did he escape and flee to Central Texas? The authors present the
known facts and circumstances of these and other mysteries.

understand Texan or for adding real Texas flavor to writing and
speaking projects.
