What is The Bride Wore Crimson: And Other Stories about?

In The Bride Wore Crimson, Bryan Woolley, Texas novelist and newspaperman, has assembled a new collection of "true Texas stories" to stand alongside his The Edge of the West and Other Texas Stories, published in 1990 by Texas Western Press. The 19 pieces in this new collection include such inimitable Woolleyesque portrayals of Texas and Texans as the title story on his own family scandal, "The Bride Wore Crimson," about his uncle "Toy" Woolley, charged with the murder of his new bride; the quest for "Tangle-Free Tom," the $65,000 prize fish in the Lake Texoma Crappiethon; a profile on the late Texas Senator John Tower and of such other Texas personalities as John "Austin Squatty" Jenkins and John Graves, author of Goodbye to a River; a lament for the dwindling horned toad population; an account of a case of child molestation, "A Family Nightmare," and the aftermath; and the full account of the 25th anniversary reunion of the Texas Western College Miners of El Paso and how they became the only Texas team ever, to this day, to win a NCAA national basketball championship, winning it with black players against an all white University of Kentucky team.
