Frank X. Tolbert, famous in Texas for "A Bowl of Red" and founding the first chili cookoff, was a Texas writer of renown. He researched this story from Ireland to Texas about one of Texas's lesser-known heroes, Dick Dowling, and how he saved Texas from invasion by Union troops in 1863. Fantastic story and every bit of it true, according to Tolbert. This copy is signed by Tolbert on the half-title page and on the title page is his inscription to his daughter, Kathleen, signed "Dad". Beneath the title Kathleen Tolbert's signature in black crayon. Red boards have light edgewear, with front board having a few tiny scuffs on lower corner. Interior is bright and clean; page edges are tanned. Dust jacket has price intact and has light corner wear. Spine ends have slight rubbing and a little chipping wear. Tan background barely shows faint stain on lower portion of front hinge, and there is a tiny, almost indiscernible spot on the "N" in "Dowling" in the title. Now in protective cover. Lovely insight into Tolbert and his family.
