Stories from Texas: Some of Them Are True

By: W.F. Strong

Narrated by: W. F. Strong

You might call W.F. Strong a student of all things Texas. In 2010, he began sharing his 'Stories From Texas' vignettes on public radio stations, most recently on the Texas Standard news show's 30 stations. For this book celebrating his home state, Strong has collected 75 of his broadcasts.

You'll hear his inimitably Texan voice in your mind's ear as he weaves stories on subjects ranging from how to ''talk Texan'' to Texas bards and troubadours; from tall Texas tales to Lone Star icons like Charles Goodnight, Tom Landry and Blue Bell ice cream; from legends and unsung heroes of the past to some heartfelt memories of his own.

Strong agrees with John Steinbeck that ''Texas is a state of mind... a mystique closely approximating a religion,'' and every one of his stories embraces the Texas state of mind.

Soul satisfying stories

Mr. Strong sees life from a positive viewpoint. Its always best to focus on the good in life and I believe he’s done that in a way that makes me wish I could be grafted into the heritage he so eloquently describes.
