West Texas Bold Tales Of Grit And Grandiose Feuds
West Texas is depicted through larger than life figures and places from Amarillo to Brownwood. The piece wanders through Pinkie’s liquor empire, Marsh’s Cadillac graveyard and bent street signs, Brownwood’s football pride, Candy Barr’s fame, and landmark towns with oil booms, all tied by a field guide tone to the region’s quirks, roads, eateries, and legends.
