DESCRIPTION
The title was taken from J. Frank Dobie and Dick Holland, who tell about library corners that contain writings that are forever Texas. Holland's essay, "A Corner Forever Texas: The Southwestern Writers Collection," is the leading essay in the book. Corners of Texas begins with a special section about the history of the Society itself and its "sainted elders." It is a traditional TFS miscellany, the best of the Society's papers over the past three years—from lynchings to el pato boat building; from sunbonnets to hammered dulcimers; from jokes about droughts and lawyers to tales of folk, gospel and blues music; from gravemarkers to bottle trees, and more.
