COMIC ART STORIES:
DISCLAIMER: These stories are told exactly as they happened.
There is some fighting, smoking, and a little imbibing in some of them.
I am not promoting these things. They were just part of rural rough and tumble Texas in the early 1900's,
and to leave those details out would have been to present a false picture of that time.
Grandpaw Lacy told me these stories in his East Texas drawl, usually while we were hunting or fishing.
I loved them all--and I think you will too!

TRAVELS
(Although there is nothing obscene in this prose e-book, it is intended for grownup readers)
"HILL COUNTRY CHRISTMAS"
A cold December at the deer lease in the Texas Hill Country with Grandpaw Lacy and Mr. Ellis,
who was 92 that year.This is the story of an East Texas Christmas in early 1900's. I heard it sitting
around an old Franklin stove in Mr. Ellis's cabin in 1960 when I was 12. This story and many
more are included in my prose memoir version of "Travels With Grandpaw."
"TRAPPERS"
The year is 1911 on the Lacy Farm. Grandpaw Lacy and his brother decide to catch a mean
tomcat in a burlap bag. The plot thickens when they take him into their mother's parlor.
"SCHOOL DAYS"
They'd had some trouble at the one room schoolhouse. The high school boys had
been running off the teachers. Then, in 1910, on Grandpaw Lacy's first day of school,
a new teacher came riding up who would change everything.
"DOWN YONDER"
Grandpaw Lacy was a lean rangy teen in 1921. He and his band members figured
they were ten feet tall and bullet proof. They learn a lesson when
they get in a tight spot playing a dance down at Ponta, Texas.
