Description

The dawn of civilization as we know it occurred twelve millennia ago right here in the canyon that cuts through the Llano Estacado. It was here that the nomadic prehistoric hunters of the Clovis era settled in the first village around the canyon springs and became the world's first identifiable, unique culture. The fossil record tells the unmistakable story of a people who developed a community which cooperated for the common good, invented tools and engaged in commerce and manufacturing. We know a lot about how they lived; they hunted the wooly mammoth with weapons of stone.After a few thousand years of time, the Folsom culture followed, then the Archaic Indians, followed by the Woodland and Neo periods and then came the Plains Indians - Kiowas, Cheyenne, Arapahos, and the fearsome Comanches. We only have fragments of the legends of the later Indian tribes. The Spanish conquistadors brought the mustang and Longhorn cattle, making possible the legends of the cowboys. Throw in the Iron Horse, the buffalo hunters, and the cavalry, and we lay claim to all the legends of the frontier. Oh, yes, Lubbock is a legendary place. Some of the "Legends of Lubbock" tax our sense of credibility. Reality, on the other hand, is downright unbelievable. Who in their right mind would believe the incredible fertility of our soil, or imagine the wealth produced by irrigation and our other natural resources? And in less than a hundred years, Lubbock, Texas has produced true legends: in education, politics, medicine, music, technology, agriculture, warfare, and the list keeps growing. What we have here are some of the tall tales about the Legends of Lubbock, as printed in the Chamber of Commerce Newsletter. I hope you enjoy them.
