Three Men in Texas: Bedichek, Webb, and Dobie

This book is a tribute to "an incomparable triumvirate." "One was a naturalist, one a historian, and one a chronicler, but each of them was each of these. The manly love between them, a handsome thing in times and places blighted by great ugliness and banality, shone from them into their friends and contemporaries, and they shared themselves freely with those younger than they who went to them wishing to learn from them." Most of this collection of writing by friends of Roy Bedichek, Walter Prescott Webb, and J. Frank Dobie originally appeared in special editions of theTexas Observerdevoted to each of the three men. Some pieces were, however, written expressly for this volume. They have been edited by the editor and general manager of the Observer, who is also the author ofDark Star: Hiroshima Reconsidered in the Life of Claude Eatherly.Dugger, Ronnie is the author of 'Three Men in Texas: Bedichek, Webb, and Dobie' with ISBN 9780292780149 and ISBN 0292780141.
