Southwestern Historical Quarterly October particulars of these essays as fascinating as their friends will, the commonality of experience and theme does have general interest. Authors seem to have wandered into the folds of TFS by a similar route: introduction to the Society through a friend or colleague, tentative attendance at a meeting with particular pleasure in the Thursday-evening songfest called a "hoot" (a term popularized in the leftwing folksong scene in late-1940s New York City), hesitantly preparing and reading a paper on the program at a subsequent meeting, taking along the whole family to meet new friends made at Abilene or Uvalde or wherever those first meetings were held, and regularly incorporating the trip to the TFS meeting each spring into the family's customary calendar. Heroic figures are invoked: some such as Dobie, Scarborough, Paredes, and Brewer known mainly through oral tradition from older Society members; some seen in the flesh and integrated into the writer's circle of friends. Read one after another by someone who does not know the authors, these reminiscences evince a pattern of developing enthusiasm and sense of a community based on shared interest and solidified upon personal relationships. I recommend this book to
