Processed by: Gwynedd Cannan, May, 1994. photograph of J. Frank Dobie by Russell Lee Biography J. Frank Dobie, teacher, storyteller, folklorist, historian, and author, was born September 18, 1888, on a ranch in the South Texas brush country of Live Oak County. Raised in the toughening, physically bracing traditions of a remote ranching region, Dobie nonetheless developed an early love for language and literature. His mother encouraged reading, providing her children with mail-ordered books, and his father developed the boy's narrative sense with nightly readings of the King James version of the bible. Dobie's mother saw to it that he and his siblings were sent away to relatives in the small town of Alice so that they could obtain the requisite schooling to pursue higher education. Dobie received his BA from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. There, under the influence of Professor Albert Shipp Pegues, he became enthralled by the English romantic poets. There too he met the poetry-loving Bertha McKee, who would become his wife, lifelong companion, adviser, booster and critic. After Dobie received his degree in 1910, he taught at a high school in Alpine, Texas, and worked summers as a newspaper reporter. Deciding he wished to teach poetry at a more advanced level than high school, Dobie pursued a Masters at Columbia University. He later admitted to being only a lackluster student who learned more from New York and the New York theater than he did from the university.

Home Stage/Screen Music Sports ... Journalism J. He spent World War II teaching American literature in Cambridge. After the war he returned to Europe to teach in England, Germany, and Austria. He said of his Cambridge experience in "A Texan in England" that it gave him a broader perspective, that it was his beginning of his acceptance of civilization, an enlightened civilization free of social and political rigidities and with full respect for individuality. In Texas the University of Texas regents, critical of the university's liberal professors, had fired President Homer P. Rainey in November 1944. Dobie, a liberal Democrat, was outraged and vociferous, and Governor Coke Stevensonqv said that he was a troublemaker and should be summarily dismissed. Dobie's request for a continuation of his leave of absence after his European tour in 1947 was denied by the regents, and he was dismissed from the UT faculty under what became known as the "Dobie rule," which restricted faculty leaves of absence to two years except in emergencies. Dobie died on September 18, 1964. He had been feted by the Southwestern Writers and the Texas Folklore Society. Special editions of the Texas Observer and the Austin American-Statesmanq had been devoted to his praise by his many admirers, and President Lyndon B. Johnsonqv awarded him the nation's highest civil award, the Medal of Freedom, on September 14, 1964. His funeral was held in Hogg Auditorium on the UT campus, and he was buried in the State Cemetery.

Southwestern Classics On-Line Lone Star Junction Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest By J. Frank Dobie Introduction to Online Edition J. Frank Dobie (1888-1964) was already widely known as a Texas author and folklorist when he first published his Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest in 1943. The Guide evolved from notes Dobie had collected and revised over the previous dozen or so years. It served as the basis for a class which he then taught at the University of Texas in Austin. It was further refined and significantly expanded for republication in 1952. The text for the online edition which follows is derived from the 1952 version of Dobie's work. The Guide , as Dobie was the first to point out, is "fragmentary, incomplete, and in no sense a [comprehensive] bibliography" of Southwestern culture. Rather, it is a commentary and listing of a miscellany of writings on the Southwest that Dobie considered "good reading." The Guide's purpose, according to Dobie, was primarily: to help people of the Southwest learn more of the land to which they belong, to make their past more alive, to bring them to a realization of the values of their own cultural inheritance, and to stimulate them to observe. By nature, any such work becomes dated, as many new titles are added which often provide deeper insight into new aspects of Southwestern history and culture. Nevertheless, Dobie's

McCutchan and 76 other survivors of what has become known as the Mier Expedition an unauthorized Texas invasion of Mexico in 1842 that ended in imprisonment and death for many stood on deck as the vessel made for the wharf at Galveston. "With proud anticipation we reach the Wharf not a shout not a hurra not a sound of wellcome, went up towards Heaven," McCutchan later wrote in his not always correctly spelled diary. "No friendly hand was stretched out to congratulate us, save those who had, perhaps, a personal friend, or relative among!" This survivor's description is from what should be considered the definitive history of this lessor-known aspect of Texas history, Joseph Milton Nance's "Dare-Devils All: Texas Mier Expedition." Published by Eakin Press, the 560-page hardcover sells for $59.95. The Mier Expedition had its genesis with Texas' response to a Mexican attack on San Antonio in 1842. A force of 750 Texas soldiers marched to the Rio Grande and captured Laredo (at that time only a city on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande) and then moved downriver to Guerro, which they also took. But the leader of the Texans, Gen. Alexander Somervell, decided it was not prudent to stay in Mexico. The general and more than half of his men went back to Texas.
