Page vi A Man Deserves a Heath Among the feelings that have moved men powerfully, none has been more universal than love of the earth. Consciously or unconsciously, silently or in defiant proclamations, men have always identified themselves with their native soil. With their own countryside, with their home rock, they have associated the forces of their lives. Young men, not always in vain, have died for this ideal of the land; poets have sung it and old men have celebrated it in story. It has made some men narrow, but it has made others heroic. Famed or nameless, each of us is moved by this feeling for the place of his growth. Every man deserves a native heath. The Texas Folk-Lore Society now issues its seventeenth volume on life in Texas and the Southwestern United States. These books are not out of one region. They do not write on a single theme or in one idiom. The Piney Woods of East Texas, the dry miles of ranch country, the Panhandle, the Gulf Coast, the Valley, the plains and the mountains, the riversSabine, Neches, Trinity, Brazos, Colorado, Guadalupe, Nueces, Rio Grandethis is no subject to be exhausted by seventeen volumes. Through these scenes, in the years during which the peoples of Texas have moved through the woods, over the plains, across the rivers, across the mountains, many races have made part of the storyComanche, Conquistador, Frenchman, Englishman, Scot, Irishman, Mexican, German, Czech, Scandinavian, and Negro. These Texans have shaped their own lives and the state at the same molding, slow and continuous. It has been the task of the Texas Folk-Lore Society to gather into printed books some of the records of this growththe stories, the songs, the ways of living.
