Texans and Airships I Have Known by Roy L. Fish Here, as varied and far-ranging as Texas itself, is an assemblage of heroes, brigands, entertainers, educators, politicians, and a few colorful characters unknown outside their own families and barber shops. Oral historian and raconteur Roy Fish interweaves true stories of both past and present into this unique collection and presents heretofore unpublished facts about famous--and infamous--Texans. Fully indexed.

About the author: Oral historian and raconteur Roy Fish says, "Having lived life in reverse, I suspect that I was born feet-first. This champion reader and speller was severed from academia by algebra and English literature; the former was incomprensible and an essay on a section of Treasure Island impossible. I didn't even pick up a pencil! "I clerked in a Ben Franklin at 14, drilled oil wells in my early 20s, and became a bricklayer, from which I am retired. Taught myself algebra, graduated high school at 36, enrolled in college at 44. Received an A for a handwritten English literature term paper and made Phi Theta Kappa. I was delighted for my young female history professor to call upon me to fill the gaps in her book learning and experience. "I have published short stories and a suspense novel, Iceman. San Antonio is home to wife Wanda and me." . click here to learn more about the author ISBN 0-9771797-0-2 Non-Fiction Texana / $16.95
