Erickson (author of Hank the Cowdog) tells his family saga of growing up in northwestern Texas. His family encountered significant historical figures, such as Cynthia Ann Parker, and includes members of the Estacado Quaker colony. Erickson tells the story of Martha Sherman, who died at the hands of the Comanche, and the tale of the notorious outlaw Tom Ross. Prairie Gothic also includes Erickson’s encounters with famous Texas writers, such as John Graves and J. Evetts Haley.
