Although it is not part of the Bosque County Collection and is not strictly a factual oral history, you may enjoy reading the song lyrics of what is considered by many as one of the best works ever written about life in rural Texas and in particular Bosque County. Texas Trilogy was written by singer/songwriter Steve Fromholz in 1967. His grandmother lived in Kopperl, a small town in Bosque County, and Steve visited her often. The three songs that make up the Texas Trilogy describe life in the town of Kopperl and Bosque County in the 1950's. Click here to read the lyrics and see some accompanying photos.
