Lionel Garcia was born in San Diego, Texas, on
August the 20th, 1935, deep in the barren brush country.
He was raised in an extended family filled with colorful characters which
included his parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles and transient
relatives-close and distant, who came in and out of his grandmother's house
without warning. He was affected deeply by the Hispanic story telling
tradition. Most of his work is about the Mexican American experience in deep
south Texas brush country, an area so different and unique that is still part
United States and Mexico, an area of a mixture of Catholicism and witchcraft in
which nothing thrives except plants with thorns and animals with fangs.
During his early years he was sent to live with his grandfather who
worked on a remote ranch far in the scrub. There they tended goats and a few
cows and struggled to raise whatever little crops the weather would allow. To
this day he can hear the cowbells ring at night, hence the title of his
fictionalized autobiography, I Can Hear the Cowbells
Ring.
He began writing in grammar school. His first published stories were
in 1956 in a literary magazine at Texas A&M University, from which
he graduated. His award winning stories have dealt mostly with Mexican American
life in the United States.
As a child of the Great Depression, his philosophy and attitudes are
shaped by the strength, love and loyalty he experienced in the face of extreme
poverty and prejudice. He inherited his sense of humor from his strong family
who managed to confront and solve problems of monumental proportions with
common sense and total acceptance.
In 1983, he was asked to read from his works at a bohemian coffee
house in Houston. The response was so positive that he is now in demand
nation-wide as a reader and speaker before a wide range of audiences--from
literary and corporate groups to kindergartners. He captures audiences with
engaging stories laced with generous helpings of humor and wisdom which makes
for an immediate connection with his audience.
He is married to Noemi Barrera and has three children, Rose, Carlos
and Paul. He has one son-in-law, Robert Filteau and a grandson, David, a
daughter-in-law, Judi, and a grand-daughter, Jamie. He is a practicing
veterinarian and devotes his night time to writing. Additional information about Dr. Lionel Garcia can be accessed

Dr. Lionel Garcia, noted author of
Mexican-American fiction and a veterinarian by training, published his first
literary works while at Texas A&M and continues to write about the
Mexican-American experience in deep south Texas brush country. The Lionel
Garcia Papers include first editions, hand-written and typed manuscripts,
photographs, correspondence, literary reviews, memorabilia, and personal papers
that document the life of this native Texan. The collection contains multiple
manuscripts for most works, allowing researchers to see the work at different
stages and to trace Dr. Garcia’s writing process which entails frequent
revisions. Received with no particular organizational structure, the papers
were organized into seven series and numerous sub-series as detailed below:

Organization of the Papers
|
| This collection is organized into 7 series: |
| |
| | Series 1. Correspondence, 1959-2004.
The first series includes written correspondence through both traditional
postal mail and electronic mail (email). Correspondence is conducted between a
wide variety of individuals and organizations on topics such as literary
accomplishments, manuscript submissions, personal congratulations, and
miscellaneous other topics. |
| | Series 2. Written Works, 1956-2004.
This series is comprised of the many published and unpublished writings created
by Dr. Garcia throughout his career. These works were further broken down into
sub series of books, manuscripts, articles, and notes.
-
Sub Series 1. Books, 1983-2004.
Books authored by Lionel Garcia and books that feature his short stories are
arranged by title in this sub series and labeled with a corresponding item
number.
-
Sub Series 2. Manuscripts,
ca.1952-2004, n.d. Arranged alphabetically by manuscript title, this sub series
contains the many published and unpublished manuscripts of short stories,
novels, poetry, and speeches written by Lionel Garcia. Many pieces include hand
written revisions and numerous rewrites leading up to the final completed work.
The following prominent title changes should be noted, as each manuscript is
filed under the working title at its time of creation: Other Years, Other Times, Father Story, and Family Story
all evolved into Hardscrub, Remembrances of Childhood became I
Can Hear the Cowbells Ring, Tejas is
renamed A Shroud in the Family, and
A Door at the House of Cards is a play based on
The Day They Took My Uncle.
-
Sub Series 3. Articles,
1958-2004. This sub series is the collection of published articles authored by
Lionel Garcia, appearing in both newspapers and magazines and are arranged by
date of publication. Subjects include short story fragments, social commentary
articles, and Mexican American culture.
-
Sub Series 4. Notes, 1983-2003,
n.d. Organized by the title of the written work they correspond to, the notes
of Lionel Garcia showcase his early hand written drafts as well as the
collection of development notes on various written works. Note collections on
Father Story (11/17-20) and Leaving Home (11/33-34) contain a variety of
materials grouped together by Garcia prior to processing.
|
| | Series 3. Personal and Biographical,
1932-2000, n.d. Materials within this series pertain to areas of Lionel
Garcia’s personal life and background. Educational achievements, wedding
announcements, birth records, military records and related materials can be

| | Series 4. Photographs, 1913-2004, n.d.
Series four is the photograph collection of Lionel Garcia, his family, and
miscellaneous other subjects. Initially sorted by date when applicable, with

memorabilia series is composed of all plaques, awards, certificates, or other
personal items with nostalgic value possessed by Dr. Garcia. These pieces are
listed by item number and placed in chronological order. The memorabilia items
are housed in an oversized box to accommodate the larger pieces. |
| | Series 6. Electronic Media,
ca.1980-2005. The electronic data series is a collection of floppy disks, zip
disks, CDs, and other forms of digital files that store copies of Garcia’s
writings. The material in this series was organized into a variety of disk
boxes which were assigned an item number. The descriptive listing of each
item’s contents are listed below in the descriptive listing section. A large
portion of the data is stored on 5¼-inch floppy disks unique to the 1970s-1980s
microcomputers and cannot be accessed in most modern day computers. Dr.
Garcia’s manual to one of his word processing computers can be found in folders
16/122-123 and a itemized report of files from Garcia’s harddrive can be
located in folder 11/6 to further aide research in this series. |

1964-2005. The final series is a collection of written works in the Lionel
Garcia Papers that are not personally authored by Dr. Garcia including literary
reviews, biographical articles, promotional materials, and event programs. This

writings into material written about Garcia’s work, his life, and material
collected by Garcia for research purposes.
-
Sub Series 1. Reviews,
1985-2001, n.d. All literary reviews published on the writings of Lionel Garcia
are organized into this sub series by date of the review’s publication, and

the particular piece corresponds to. Within this sub series you will find

literary events at which Lionel Garcia is featured, and various promotional
materials supporting his writings.
-
Sub Series 3. Research,
1983-2003. Also arranged by date of publication, this sub series is an
assortment of articles or programs not specifically about Lionel Garcia or his
work. Some pieces collected provide research for his writings and others are
