From a Limestone Ledge: Some Essays and Other Ruminations about Country Life in Texas
English
By (author): John Graves
Another fine, reflective, anecdotal look at rural Texas. New Yorker
Graves writes eloquently about a countrymans concerns. There's not a false note in the book. Boston Globe
Like the unmortared stone fences of Gravess native hill country, From a Limestone Ledge is constructed of bits and pieces never designed to fit together, yet made to achieve a unity that is more enduring than the sum of its individual parts by the hands of a master craftsman. Southwestern Historical Quarterly
The beauty of his work endures, and there is a greater pride in Texans hearts for their home, I think, than there would be if he hadnt written the books he did. Rick Bass, Garden & Gun
In describing the particulars of his surroundings, Graves often was describing the world in microcosm and the place and plight of humankind in it. Bryan Woolley, Dallas Morning News
