West Texas Tales : Stories about my Father

West Texas Tales : Stories about my Father

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is a series of sixteen short articles about my father and his life experiences. Sometimes an adventure and almost always humorous, these are his true experiences, or my own recollections of his later life. He was Claude Raymond Crowley (1908-1992), C.R. to his friends, and Claude only to his brothers and my mother. As a teenager, he met the infamous Texas outlaws: Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker, and Ray Hamilton. His remarks are intriguing tales for all who have an interest in rural family life in the first decades of the twentieth century. We never tired of his words on a cold winter's night that were only broken by the noisy flame of a kerosene space heater and the light of an oil lamp. As we children grew into adults, the details were enlarged to bring into prominence the more mature issues involved. He was a serious person who saw humor in all his surroundings.
