Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. xviii, 306 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm. ; tan full cloth ; dj in mylar. INSCRIBED warmly by Neal on half-title to Margaret Waring of Comanche, Texas, with laid-in letter of thanks and reply in separate envelope. Almost half a century after the Boyce-Sneed feud in West Texas erupted in bloodshed in 1912, two Texas historians attempted to write about the affair. But no one would talk to them. Lewis Nordyke abandoned the idea, and C.L. Sonnichsen, another chronicler of Texas feuds, wrote that it was "too soon to talk about the Boyce-Sneed affair. "Not until the 1990s did the whole story emerge, when descendants of the feuding families finally called a truce, opened the family archives, and shared family legends. And what a tale it proved to be-a classic saga of passion, violence, and revenge, of retribution but never redemption. The feud began with a torrid sex scandal at the core of the love triangle, featuring Lena Snyder Sneed, the high-spirited, headstrong wife; Al Boyce, Jr. Lena's reckless, romantic lover; and John Beal Sneed, Lena's arrogant, grim, and vindictive husband, who responded to Lena's plea for a divorce by having her locked up in an insane asylum on grounds of "moral insanity.' The chase was on after Al rescued Lena from the asylum and the lovers fled to Canada. That's when the killings began. No one who knew the vengeful John Beal Sneed doubted for a moment that he would go after his wife's lover with lethal intent. But that was not enough to satisfy the enraged husband's blood lust. Frustrated by Al's escape to Canada, Sneed assassinated Al's aged and unarmed father, Colonel Albert Boyce, a wealthy Amarillo banker who had been the general manager of the huge XIT ranch in the Panhandle during the late nineteenth century. Colonel Boyce's offense had been his successful effort to derail Sneed's attempt to railroad his son to the penitentiary on trumped-up charges. Newspaper headlines predicted the upcoming murder trial would be the "greatest legal battle ever fought in Texas Courts." Sneed's well-paid legal team first earned him a mistrial. Before the retrial, Al Boyce, Jr. made a foolish mistake. He returned to Texas. Nothing could have please John Beal Sneed more. In the presence of witnesses, he shot Al in the back while he was strolling down the main street of Amarillo. Sneed was acquitted in his second trial for killing the father, and later acquitted for the killing of son Al Boyce, Jr., as well. His legal team skillfully invoked the self-help justice of the unwritten law that sanctioned the slaying by a husband of his wife's lover in order to "protect the home.".…

An excellent but little-known companion to Terry Jordan's Texas Log Buildings. "In 1979, the staff of the Historical Collection at what is now the University of North Texas assembled an exhibit on the Texas log house that was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The exhibit travelled the country and was supported by this beautifully illustrated book, now being made available again by the University of North Texas Press. Chapters cover subjects such as the early building techniques as well as the symbolism attached. Photos record the conditions of those structures still standing in Texas and demonstrate their ingenious re-use.". Bonneau, Cirrus (illustrator).…
