Kerbow/ Eakin Press, ISBN # 0-89015-664-6, First Edition, Copyright 1988/ C.W. "Cedar Whacker" Wimberley was born March 14, 1913, at his grandfather Lawrence's place in the bygone community of Wayside near Wimberley, Texas. A depression dropout of old Southwest Texas Teachers College, he served a hitch in the army before marrying Iolene Rogers and moving to the cedar brakes near Lone Grove, Texas (Llano County). It was their home for thirty years before moving back to San Marcos, Texas, his boyhood home. Through talks with the old one - the sore-necked dirt farmer, landed rancher, hounddog man, and cedarcutter - he received eyewitness accounts of how it was fifty years before his time. In the true venacular of the period, he presents these experiences in Cedar Whacker.
