REPAINTING THE RATTLER
J. Frank Dobie, renowned Texan folklorist, dedicated his life to capturing the richness of south-western nature, repainting impressions of wildlife so long considered rangy and unlovable. Published the year after his death, this first edition turns to the rattlesnake, stuffed with folk tales of trees wilting from bites, Dobie's personal experiences, and practical advice on handling the creatures.
