Some tall tales from Texas. Lies? well, just stretching the truth a bit. These 8 stories have lots of good 'ol Texas 'dialect' in them so if you are from that state or just enjoy talking like that, these are for you. You know you've always wanted to talk like a cowboy and sit around the campfire after a day ridin' t he range and corralling them 'dogies while someone just spins a tale of pure beautiful lies. - Summary by phil chenevert (2 hr 19 min)

A factual account of Western megafauna


(5 stars)

interesting account of the actual lives of folks living out West in the latter half of the 19th century. Of value to anthropologists, historians and lay listeners alike. Well narrated. Additionally has historical account of animals living in past century, that unfortunately have been hunted to extinction by white males

Campfires and Cowboys


(3 stars)

Everything's outsized in Texas, and so are these tales. Very enjoyable. There are some minor issues with the changes between narrators, but nothing too bad.
