J. FRANK DOBIE AT PAISANO RANCH, 1959
"I was lonesome for land," Dobie told Dallas News Book Critic Lon Tinkle as his arm swept in a wide arc indicating the hills and creek of his country place, "and I bought this place about a year ago. When I got sick, I thought for awhile that maybe I was through, so I sold my place at Cherry Springs. But I got lonesome for land. I have always had land, a place where I could see all that's going on in the sky around me. Here, at Paisano, I can see the clouds and at night the stars, and I'm near water. I always like to be near water..."

Preface
J. Frank Dobie left an article on his old friend John A. Lomax which Mrs. Dobie has kindly permitted us to publish. What could more fittingly begin this book than one of Dobie's last pieces of writing, and that on the cofounder of the Texas Folklore Society? Our title comes from Lomax's favorite toast, which he liked to give when he relaxed with Dobie or others at the end of a working day, "Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago!"
A copy of Lomax's "Cowboy Lingo" was found among Dobie's papers. Since only the latter half of it had been published, we are printing all of it here. We thank the LomaxesShirley, Bess, John, and Alanfor permission to do so.
There follow articles by Rhodes and Adams on the cowboy, both of which appeared in out-of-the-way periodicals. These articles should be made readily accessible, we felt. W. H. Hutchinson and Andy T. Adams agreed with us and generously allowed us to reprint them.
A kind of sequence on the cowboy and the West continues in the articles by Paul Patterson, Mody C. Boatright, John O. West, and Everett A. Gillis. These men are all active members of the Society, as are the rest of the contributors.
William D. Wittliff's assemblage of Dobie's pronouncements on folklore provides a kind of review of Dobie's opinions on the subject. Dobie's attitude toward folklore has influenced the Society and its publications and no doubt will continue to be influential for some time.
The second half of the book is made up of articles most of

which were read at one of the Society's annual meetings. They deal with a wide variety of subjects, as a glance at the table of contents will show.
For pictorial material thanks are due Jon Richard Tinkle of Dallas and Albuquerque; Mrs. Pat Maguire and the Alcalde, alumni magazine of the University of Texas; and the Dallas Morning News and its staff photographers, especially Joe Laird and Clint Grant.
With two exceptions, this is the first annual publication since 1937 not to bear Mody C. Boatright's name as either editor or associate editor. Having worked with him for a number of years, we wish to thank him for his guidance and friendship in the past and to warn him that we expect his help with our knottier problems in the future.
