10 Weird And Wonderful Texas Sculptures That Are Worth Pulling Over For

A pair of giant legs stands in a Texas field with no body attached, and they were inspired by a 200-year-old poem. Somebody planned that on purpose. I love that detail. That same corner of the state also has cars stuck nose-down in the dirt. Visitors are welcome to spray paint them. Farther away, a fake luxury store sits alone in the desert, with real shoes and bags locked inside that nobody can buy.

Bridles, biscuits and the business of contraband

Economics is a social science with a human impact, Gary L. Pinkerton said. There is no stopping trade, and the economics of contraband in late-18th-century East Texas is a fascinating chapter in the state’s history. The Center for the History and Culture of Southeast Texas and the Upper Gulf Coast presented Pinkerton’s lecture, “Bridles & Biscuits: Contraband Culture in Spanish East Texas,” on Oct. 22 at the Tyrrell Historical Library. The lecture covered the end of the Spanish era in Texas, from 1773 to the Louisiana Purchase in 1805, which created a boundary that would become a point of contention for the next 35 or 40 years, Pinkerton said. In the early 1790s, Private Jose Trejo was part of a corps led by Captain Juan Cortes that traveled from Goliad to investigate contraband trade in East Texas, which was being carried on primarily by Antonio Gil Ibarro. Within three days, Captain Cortes and his men were involved in contraband trade. That’s the power of commerce, Pinkerton said. The lecture’s title, incidentally, comes from Private Trejo’s claim that he traded his bridle and breakfast for some deer skins. Gil Ibarro had the impressive job title of “Delegate Judge of Confiscation and

Texas Rock Shelter Yields More Than 3,000 Artifacts

AMARILLO, TEXAS—KFDA reports that some 3,000 artifacts were recovered from the Schaeffer Shelter in south-central Texas. Situated on private property in Ceta Canyon, the rock shelter, discovered in 1949 by Stanley Schaeffer, measures about 20 square feet. Archaeologist Brandon Tully said that different groups of people likely returned to the site over thousands of years, and he estimates that some of the recovered artifacts are between 8,000 and 10,000 years old. “We really don’t have a lot of information about archaic period sites in the Texas Panhandle, especially rock shelters,” Tully said. “Almost all of our rock shelters are from about the last 2,000 years or so,” he explained. Older objects may have been brought to the cave, however, Tully cautioned. The objects include a pendant made of dolomite, Southwestern ceramics, and turquoise and marine shell beads. Some of the shell beads are thought to have come from Baja California or the Texas Gulf Coast, more than 500 miles away. Tully also suggests that the landscape of the canyon made it easier to travel through the region. “We’ve basically been able to prove this was a highway, essentially,” he explained. Bones of bison and deer found in the shelter are thought to have been left behind by hunters, while corn recovered there may have been left by people who also farmed, Tully concluded. To read about surreal rock art found at rock shelters in the canyonlands of West Texas, go to “Art for the Ages.”
