Description
A relaxed, satisfying memoir by a master storyteller. It reveals the admirable human spirit of a man who has become as much a legend as those about whom he wrote. When Frank Dobie died in September of 1964 he left, along with a wealth of Southwestern folklore (among them the classics Coronado's Children, The Mustangs and Cow People), a collection of autobiographical pieces which he hoped, some day, to turn into a full-length autobiography. Now, three years after this beloved storyteller's death, his wife Bertha has gathered and edited his autobiographical pieces. The result is a compelling self-portrait of Frank Dobie as his friends knew him, and as his admirers wish to know him. Some Part of Myself covers the period from Frank Dobie's birth on a ranch in Live Oak County, south Texas, in 1888, to the thirties, when as a professor at the University of Texas he had established himself as an authority on the life and literature of the Southwest -- Book jacket.
