Forgotten Tales of Texas

Forgotten Tales

by Clay Coppedge

From El Chupacabra to the Marx Brothers, Clay Coppedge has a talent for digging into Texas's most unusual history. Strange as they may seem, many of these Texas-sized legends are surprisingly true, like Pancho Villa's film contract and the notorious Crash at Crush, a staged train collision and failed publicity stunt that turned tragic outside of Katy. Whether fact or lore, each tale is irrefutably part of a unique and fascinating heritage that invigorates the spirit like a Texas frontier remedy.

[Chad E Spilman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fables of TX. Some probably real some definitely not real but reported. I enjoyed the money making schemes, the spooky stories, and UFO sightings the most.

[Elise Martinez · Rating 4 out of 5]

An odd collection of seriously old tales.

Books like this are one of the great constants of life. Collections of anecdotes, one or two of which will have been worth the time.
