Book Overview
Charlie Eckhardt, a newspaper columnist and owner of the Lone Star Barber Shop in Seguin, Texas, spins his tales as only Charlie can. This book covers such topics as the little-known first Texas revolution and the counterrevolution of 1838-1840; the Linville raid; the legend of the Yellow Rose of Texas; Jim Bowie's famous knife and Sam Colt's equally famous pistol; and many more. From the early days of Texas up to the saving of the oil industry, Charlie tells 'em like he heard 'em and assures that some of the stories are actually true.

Wonderfully entertaining!

Outstanding book of history, lore and tales woven into a modern view of how we embelish or change history to make the story bigger than is was. Excellent book for any Texan (by birth, choice or desire). Hard to put down and a joy to read!
