Описание: Texas Myths and Legends explores unusual phenomena, strange events, and mysteries inTexas s history. Each episode included in the book is a story unto itself, and the tone and style of the book is lively and easy to read for a general audience interested inTexas history. The more than a dozen stories answer questions such as: Is the "Navidad Wildman" aka Bigfoot alive and well in Texas? Was the creature in one Texas woman's freezer the legendary blood-sucking beast known as the chupacabra? Just what are the mysterious Marfa Lights? Manifestations of otherworldly beings? Can they be explained scientifically? Is Jefferson the most haunted city in Texas? Or should the title go to San Antonio, which has enough ghosts to warrant at least three advertised ghost hunt tours? From rumors of Jean Lafitte's buried treasures to the hanging of Chipita Rodriguez and the love story of Frenchy McCormick, Texas Myths and Legends makes history fun and pulls back the curtain on some of the state's most fascinating and compelling stories."
