Hoot and Holler are two Army mules that served at Fort Concho, Texas during the 1880's. In this story Hoot slips through a gate and takes a walk around the fort where he gets into mischief everyplace he goes.
Hoot and Holler watch rails being laid for the train tracks. Black smoke, steam, and the screech of brakes let everyone know the train finally arrived in San Angelo! People came from far and wide to celebrate and watch the parade!
Caney Paxton wanted his cafe to have the biggest and brightest sign in Eastern Oklahoma-the "opening soon" part was supposed to be just a removable, painted notice. But a fateful misunderstanding gave Vietnam vet Caney the flashiest joke in the entire state. Twelve years later, the once-busy highway is dead and the sign is as worn as Caney, who hasn't ventured outside the diner since it opened. Then one blustery December day, a thirtyish Crow woman blows in with a three-legged dog in her arms and a long-buried secret on her mind. Hiring on as a carhop, Vena Takes Horse is soon shaking up business, the locals, and Caney's heart...as she teaches them all about generosity of spirit, love, and the possibility of promise-just like the sign says.
Follow the adventures of two curious, and often mischievous, Army mules that served at Fort Concho in Texas during the 1800s. This story takes them on a dusty road to The DeLong Ranch where they meet chickens, lambs, and lots of children!
The fort is closing! Hoot and Holler watch as many changes come to Fort Concho. Soldiers are sent to other forts. Families pack up and move, leaving the school quiet and empty. Possessions are packed and shipped or sold at an auction. It's soon time for Hoot and Holler to say goodbye to Fort Concho.
