- Carol Hoff was born in Tucson, Arizona, but considered herself a Texan. Her great-grandparents had arrived in Texas as pioneers in 1834, settling in what eventually became the town of Yorktown, an important point along the immigration and trade route to San Antonio.
It was here that she heard local stories from her grandmother and great-aunt that she later worked into her children's books and young adult books. Two of the most popular were Johnny Texas (1950) and Johnny Texas on the San Antonio Road (1953).
