Summary "The Busted Ex-Texan, and Other Stories" by W. H. H. Murray is a collection of narratives written in the late 19th century. This collection centers on various characters and their humorous, often poignant experiences, particularly highlighting the life of the titular character, an ex-Texan who has faced misfortune. The stories blend both adventure and introspection, likely drawing on themes of resilience and the quirks of human nature. The opening of the book introduces the reader to a lively camp setting in the shadow of the Kicking Horse Pass, where a group of travelers are enjoying a picturesque evening. Amidst the laughter and camaraderie, a stranger arrives—a seemingly melancholic individual who declares himself a "busted ex-Texan." This prompts the party to invite him to share his story, hinting at both the humor and hardship intertwined in his past. As he begins recounting his experiences, the initial jovial atmosphere shifts to a mix of sympathy and curiosity, setting the stage for a narrative that promises humor alongside deeper reflections on fortune and failure.
