Southwestern Lore, the ninth volume issued by the Texas
Folk-Lore Society, is about as representative as such a miscel-
lany could be. Bad men, razorbacked hogs, Mexican sheep-
herders, treasure hunters, negroes, cowboys both gringo and
Mexican, plant life, songs, oil fields, Indians-the four peo-
ples that have mingled their lore in the Southwest, as well as
a wide variety of occupations and natural elements--all find
representation in the volume.
As has frequently been observed, the people who belong to
the soil of Texas and the Southwest are coming more and more
to show an active interest in their own environment and social
inheritance. This means that civilization is advancing. The
Texas Folk-Lore Society has had a part in this advancement
and it now submits, with faith in the public's continued sup-
port of its work, this additional record of a people's identity.
