The adventurous spirit of Texans has led to much travel lore,   from stories of how ancestors first came to the state to reflections of how   technology has affected the customs, language, and stories of life "on the   go."  This Publication of the Texas Folklore Society features articles from   beloved storytellers like John O. West,   Kenneth W. Davis, and F. E. Abernethy as well as new voices like Janet   Simonds. Chapters contain traditional   "Gone to Texas" accounts and articles about people or methods of travel   from days gone by. Others are dedicated   to trains and cars and the lore associated with two-wheeled machines,   machines that fly, and machines that scream across the land at dangerous   speeds. The volume concludes with articles that consider how we fuel our   machines and ourselves, and the rituals we engage in when we're on our way   from here to there.
