Self-made and natural problems are solved by fictional folks such as the barbering Beaukiss brothers, Wes and Ches; Shine Parker, their shoe-shine man; and a three-legged dog named John Bell Hood, who solves a criminal case. Also included are a Baptist preacher named Catfish Kincheloe, who smokes White Owl cigars and drives a big car; Hoojay, a Czech immigrant who creates a legendary barbecue restaurant; Wes' enigmatic wife, Becca; and some baseball and football heroes. The Mayhaw gang encounters some real people along their 1930s journey, where fact and fiction are allowed to blend. Segregation was a fact of life in Texas at that time, and the Ku Klux Klan was still a feared commodity. Religion ands sports were important in Mayhaw -- and still are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68325856968927,"sku":"9781662956157","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/1Uk1KvpRkJ9781662956157.webp?v=1793184663","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/mayhaw-texas-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
