Steve Davis J Frank Dobie is a must read. Insightful, compelling, and an exemplar for any one interested in exploring literary biography or Texana studies. Not mention, Steve is one of the funniest cats writing in Texas today.

I want to thank you for writing this book. A very fine effort and a joy to finally understand the context and substance of J. Frank Dobie. I graduated from UT in 1986 and like most UT students saw his name and his likeness. This past year I've read The Longhorns and The Mustangs and now I understand the man and appreciate his work even more.
