Description:... Back Cover Copy-with author photo

Finding Anything about Everything in Texas offers a crash course in locating information about the Lone Star State. Each chapter begins with an engaging, little-known, even quirky story and then shows the reader how to follow the printed and electronic trail to uncover more details. Information sleuths discover the facts about "Santa Anna's Leg," "The Bird that Flew Backward," and "Heroes, Heroines, and Hoaxes" as well as the answers to questions like "Who Came, Who Stayed? Who Was Run Off?" and advice like "Don't Dig Up More Snakes Than You Can Kill." A field guide for information seekers, this book gives serious help in an entertaining romp through legendary Texas, authentic Texas, and virtual Texas.

A teacher, historian, and information consultant to government agencies, film studios, and businesses, Edward M. Walters, Ph.D., has over twenty-five years experience retrieving information from special collections, databases, and the internet and translating it into user friendly form. Creator, script writer, narrator, and performer of the PBS television program "The People's Outlaw in American Folk Music," he was Director of the Eugene McDermott Library at the University of Texas at Dallas and now lives in Dallas, Texas.
