The product of 30 years of research, this book will make you see the coyote on a whole different plane. Dobie pens what he calls a "biography" of the coyote by tracing this mysterious and exciting animal through history and weaving together entertaining stories of fact, fiction, science and imagination. This collection of tales will not only make you laugh, but will introduce you to a fascinating animal whose true colors come shining through after centuries of being misunderstood.
Dobie was born in 1888 on his family's cattle ranch in Live Oak County. During his long life, J. Frank Dobie would live astride two worlds: a rugged life on a Texas cattle ranch and the state's modern centers of scholarly learning. By the late 1920s, Dobie discovered his mission: to record and publicize the disappearing folklore of Texas and the greater Southwest. Dobie became secretary of the Texas Folklore Society, a position he held for 21 years.
