Texas Macabre - a bizarre history of a Texas hero. An interview with author Stephen L. Hardin
I’d been invited to visit the Buffalo Gap Historic Village by David Gibson, the podcast historian in Abilene, and new-found friend in New Media.
I met David outside the building where we agreed to meet, and he immediately took me inside to meet Dr. Stephen L. Hardin, professor of history at Victoria College in Victoria, Texas and board member of the McWhinney Foundation.
Several years ago, Dr. Hardin wrote a book titled Texian Illiad, which has sold modestly but which has helped establish his reputation as a new Texas historian.
He has a new book out now, titled Texian Macabre, which we visited about while we were together and which presents an incredible picture of an individual by the name of David James Jones, who is cast against a background of not only early Texas but also a budding burg called Houston.
No, not a novel. It's Texas history by Stephen L. Hardin.
Sounds like a good story to me.
