From the 1880s until after World War I, Texas prosecutions for adultery, fornication, rape, seduction, and sodomy were many, but formal penal code seemed insufficiently stringent to southerners, who often sought other redress. This title presents the 'honor defense' in six celebrated murder trials, 1896-1977.

Southern cooking, the most interesting and complex regional cuisine in America, remains a mystery to many professional cooks and southerners. With a stellar collection of recipes, Neal reveals the background and subtleties of southern foods. He uses imaginative new ways with old standards to make the recipes more accessible, but he never resorts to shortcuts or processed ingredients.

Laws passed by politicians in far-off Austin meant little to Westerners living on the Texas frontier. This title presents the evidence that shows how easy some folks found it to evade justice in the frontier West.

Interweaving culinary history with a native's knowledge of the cooking secrets of the rural South, Bill Neal celebrates the glories of southern baking with 300 recipes for breads, biscuits, cakes, pies, cookies and sweets that have been the pride of southern cooks for generations.
