Description

Michael Wallis (au); Suzanne Wallis (au); Carol Stanton (il). After a lifetime of following Route 66, the Santa Fe Trail, Hwy 101, & other trails that crisscross the American West, the Wallises have accumulated a wealth of lore. Here, they present some of their favorite stories. Some were given to them by “wisdom keepers,” others are wild yarns, others are stories of their own making. They take the reader from Old Mexico to the Canadian Rockies, from the Pacific Shore to the Mississippi. They visit the snowy cornfield where Buddy Holly died, the glitzy shops of Rodeo Drive, & a ballroom where ‘western swing’ was invented. They look behind the historic facades of the OK Corral & the Alamo, explore patches of quicksand, & take part in a fiesta commemorating the burial of Santa Anna’s severed leg. Illus.
