Society members like to look back at old customs and beliefs but they are quite willing to take into account that urbanization and engineering do not destroy folklife but rather bring about new formations. From tire shrinkers to the folksay of the drag strip; from silver ingots in East Texas to early Irish storytelling; from folklore and the Finnish sauna to mock bidding in Jamaica; from folkways and mores on the University of Texas campus in the 1930s to Dobie as teacher, this miscellany brings together a wealth of Texas folklore. 606 $aTexas$xSocial Life and Customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTexas$xSocial Life and Customs. 700 $aHudson$b Wilson M.$4edt$0865558 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163545803321 996 $aTire Shrinker to Dragster$92048691 997 $aUNINA
