Dobie, J. Frank (James Frank), 1888-1964

"Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest, with a Few Observations"


JAEGER, EDMUND C. _Denizens of the Desert_, Boston, 1922. OP.
"Don Coyote," the roadrunner, and other characteristic
animals. _Our Desert Neighbors_, Stanford University Press,
California, 1950.
LOCKE, LUCIE H. _Naturally Yours, Texas_, Naylor, San Antonio,
1949. Charm must never be discounted; it is far rarer than
facts, and often does more to lead to truth. This slight book
is in verse and drawings, type integrated with delectable
black-and-white representations of the prairie dog, armadillo,
sanderling, mesquite, whirlwind, sand dune, mirage, and dozens
of other natural phenomena. The only other book in this list
to which it is akin is Eve Ganson's _Desert Mavericks_.
LUMHOLTZ, CARL. _Unknown Mexico_, New York, 1902. Nearly
anything about animals as well as about Indians and mountains
of Mexico may be found in this extraordinary two-volume work.
OP.
MCILHENNY, EDWARD A. _The Alligator s Life History_, Boston,
1935. OP. The alligator got farther west than is generally
known--at least within reach of Laredo and Eagle Pass on the
Rio Grande. McIlhenny's book treats--engagingly, intimately,
and with precision--of the animal in Louisiana.
