It is pleasant to stray in the Big Bend and Davis Mountains country of Far West Texas. The vast spaces, rugged terrain, and sparse settlement invite straying--and tale spinning. In Stray Tales of the Big Bend master folklorist Elton Miles continues to intrigue and enchant with stories of the region and its culture. Readers will find in this volume new tales of Terlingua Desert mystery bells, spirit-guarded treasure, and the mock-sacrificial San Vicente rain dance with its pre-Christian vestiges. Travelers will enjoy learning the lore of the rugged land they visit. Historians will discover the most complete account of the Glenn Springs-Boquillas raid of 1916, as well as stories of the spirit-world-inspired "Old Orient" railroad, which ran from Kansas through the Big Bend to the Gulf of Baja California. Here too is a story, with new information, about the controversial Big Bend tablet, discovered at Hot Springs and said to prove that Europeans were present there about A.D. 300. Miles recounts the recollections of cowboy preachers, camp meetings, and the reticent yet sometimes uninhibited religious attitudes of the cowboy, both open-range and modern.Binding Type: Paperback

Love these!
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Bought these for my mother in law who has some slight mobility issues so turning a salt/pepper grinder wasn’t easy for her anymore! These are so easy to use you literally just click a button. I also love that the battery is rechargeable so you don’t need to buy any extra batteries or replace them. It’s very sleek and modern looking and easy to clean. You can also adjust the size of the grinds to your liking. Definitely worth getting and great quality!

No More Manual Twisting of the Grinders!
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
This is my first time trying this type of product and initially I was a bit skeptical they would be helpful but after using for some time, I find I really like them! I love freshly cracked pepper and salt, but the twisting of the manual grinders was becoming tiresome. This set holds a good amount of peppercorns and the batteries seem to last long. Very easy to use if you learn to pick up without touching the buttons. These do the trick! Great product!
