Abernethy presents the history and folklore of the Big Thicket and its people, including a collection of Alabama-Coushatta tales, a search for hidden Jayhawkers during the Civil War, a nineteenth-century travel account, and a family history of the legendary Hooks.
Visited the Big Thicket a few years ago where I got this book.
Some stories were really great to read, while others I lost interest (for me particularly the hunting ones, of which there were a few in the middle of the book).
Overall a nice look at how life was in the Thicket from many peoples’ stories and perspectives.
