A buddy at work is letting me read this book. It's a history of some of his kinfolk form the Big Thicket area.
I.C. Eason fought against big timber companies, oil companies & the Government and kicked their asses.
So far this is an outstanding book. I pasted a page below that really hit home as far as what I would do to provide for my family. At the time this happened IC was 9 years old.
Some things to think about.

Great picture and story.
ReplyDeleteI just read this book, as well as "Reflections on the Neches". Both books have a great deal of information about the people that lived on the land before the big timber companies tried to take all of the lands with timber. My family lived in Southern Sabine County, and had some of the same issues wit the timber companies.
