Tales from the Big Thicket (The Temple Big Thicket Series, No. 1)

Rating:
Summary: captures the often "forgotten" part of Texas
Review: Abernethy, mainly through oral history, managed to capture a fleeting moment in Texas history just before it died out forever. He interviewed some of the last people still living as settlers in the Thicket as though the 20th century had never arrived. It's a real treasure of a book.
