As proof of the Almanack’s redeeming social value, we invite you to enroll in this crash course in Texas History, Geology and Zoology. You’ll learn why the grizzly has no tail, why there’s gold in them thar hills, and why coyotes howl at the moon. You’ll discover the origin of the Rio Grande, how we got the Gulf of Mexico, and how the Painted Desert got its name. Professor Roy Rogers is assisted by The Sons of the Pioneers and the magical music and sound effects of Mr. Walter Disney. This record was adapted from an animated short included in the Disney feature Melody Time. Complete your enrollment by clicking right here. Once on the Kiddie Records Weekly site, begin your course by clicking on Week 15 of the list, or the Pecos Bill picture sleeve you’ll find on the right. Class time is approximately 19 minutes.
