Those who would say Mike Renfro's essays are limited to Texas are only half-right. Yes, Texas is the backdrop for each of these diverse little stories from the Big Country, but more than landscape binds them. Mike Renfro writes about the tradition and folklore of Texas, the fiber and fabric of its people. To read Mike Renfro is to remember it is the people, not just the land, of Texas who have built its legend and legacy.
