Texas Play-party details not only the play-parties and entertainments in rural Texas in the last days of the horse and buggy, but also carefully describes farm life from making lard to one-room schoolhouse games and customs. The story of a life, it is also the chronicle of a time gone by- Texas in the twenties and thirties- when the modern age was beginning to intrude on, and change, a hundred fifty years of fascinating history and custom.
