More than a generation ago, a common joke when an insolvent debtor or any other loafer who had changed his home, wished to leave warning behind him where he had gone, he chalked upon his door the letters, “G.T.T.” These letters were understood to mean “gone to Texas.” Shortly before his death at The Alamo, Davy Crockett is quoted, regarding his last campaign for Congress: “I was, for some years, a member of Congress. In my last canvass, I told the people of my district, that, if they saw fit to re-elect me, I would serve them faithfully as I had done; but, if not, they might all go to h——, and I would go to Texas. I was beaten, gentlemen, and here I am.” The roar of applause was like a thunder-burst. Andrew Hale’s long-forgotten book is NOT about Davy Crockett, but it IS about going to Texas in a Pullman train car, and various adventures that attached to it.
