Morris Cook

writer, and newspaper columnist known for many books depicting the richness and
traditions of life in rural Texas during the days of the open range. The Morris
Cook Collection of J. Frank Dobie Materials is a collection of materials by or about
the Texas writer J. Frank Dobie.
The collection
incorporates magazines, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, notes and letters from
Dobie spanning the years 1916 to 1988.
Biographical Note
J. Frank Dobie was born on September 26, 1888. He left the ranch when
he was sixteen and moved to Alice, where he lived with his Dubose grandparents
and finished high school. In 1906 he enrolled in Southwestern University in
Georgetown, where he met Bertha McKee, whom he married in 1916, and Professor
Albert Shipp Pegues, his English teacher, who introduced him to English poetry,
particularly the Romantics, and encouraged him as a writer. He worked two
summers as a reporter, first for the San Antonio
Express and then the Galveston
Tribune. He got his first teaching job in
1910 in Alpine, where he was also the principal, play director, and editor of
the school paper. He returned to Georgetown in 1911 and taught in the
Southwestern University preparatory school until 1913, when he went to Columbia
to work on his master's degree. With his new M.A. he joined the University of
Texas faculty in 1914. At this time he also joined the Texas Folklore Society.
Dobie left the university in 1917 and served for two years in the field
artillery in World War I. In 1919 he published his first articles. He resigned
his position at the university in 1920 to manage his uncle Jim Dobie's ranch.
During this year on the Rancho de Los Olmos with the vaqueros and the stock and
the land that had been part of his formation, Dobie discovered his calling-to
transmute all the richness of this life and land and culture into literature.
Dobie returned to Austin and the university in 1921. On April 1, 1922,
Dobie became secretary of the Texas Folklore Society. He immediately began a
publication program.
Legends of Texas (1924) carried the seeds
of many of his later publications. Dobie served as the society's
secretary-editor for twenty-one years and built the society into a permanent
professional organization. When the university would not promote him without a
Ph.D., Dobie accepted the chairmanship of the English department at Oklahoma
A&M, where he stayed from 1923 to 1925. During these two years he began
writing for the
Country Gentleman. With considerable help
from his friends on the UT campus, he was able to return in 1925 with a token
promotion. He began writing articles on Texas history, culture, and folklore
for magazines and periodicals.
His
Vaquero of the Brush Country, published in
1929, established him as a spokesman of Texas and southwestern culture. Two
years later Dobie published
Coronado's Children (1931), the tales of
those free spirits who abandoned society in the search for gold, lost mines,
and various other grails. It won the Literary Guild Award for 1931 and,
combined with his continuing success as a popular writer in
Country Gentleman, made Dobie a nationally
known literary figure. He was also promoted in 1933 to the rank of full
professor, the first Texan non-Ph.D. to be so honored at the university. In
1942 he published the
Guide to Life and Literature of the
Southwest, an annotated reading list. As head of the Texas Folklore
Society and author of
On the Open Range (1931),
Tales of the Mustang (1936),
The Flavor of Texas (1936),
Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver (1939), and
Tongues of the Monte (1947), Dobie was the
state's leading spokesman and literary and cultural figure during the Texas
Centennial decade, the 1930s. His first period of writing ended with the
publication of
The Longhorns in 1941.
He spent World War II teaching American literature in Cambridge. After
the war he returned to Europe to teach in England, Germany, and Austria.
Dobie's request for a continuation of his leave of absence after his European
tour in 1947 was denied by the regents, and he was dismissed from the UT
faculty under what became known as the
Dobie rule, which restricted faculty
leaves of absence to two years except in emergencies.
After this separation Dobie devoted all of his time to writing and
anthologizing. The next decade saw the publication of
The Voice of the Coyote (1949),
The Ben Lilly Legend (1950), The Mustangs
(1952),
Tales of Old Time Texas (1955),
Up the Trail From Texas (1955), and
I'll Tell You a Tale (1960). Before he
died he published
Cow People (1964) and almost finished the
manuscript for
Rattlesnakes, which Bertha McKee Dobie
later edited and published in 1965. Dobie began writing for the
Southwest Review in 1919, when it was the
Texas Review, and continued the
association throughout his life. Dobie wrote a Sunday newspaper column from
1939 until his death. Dobie died on September 18, 1964.
