Texan journalist writes of his travels in and out of his home state: simple, straightforward and as comfortable as a well-broken in walking boot. Hale offers a series of easy-going rambles exploring the simple pleasures of crossing the Grand Prairie, and visiting the Piney Woods, the Lower Rio Grande d other Texan territories, recording as he goes a rural way of life that is changing – perhaps passing – even as he writes.
