| In the midst of
the Big Thicket forest near Lake Livingston Texas lies Texas' oldest
Indian Reservation, home of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas. This
4,600 acres of verdant timberland in the heart of the Big Thicket was
established by General Sam Houston in 1854 as a reward to the
Alabama-Coushatta Tribe for their display of courage in remaining
neutral during the Texas War for Independence from Mexico. |
