Suwannee River Area

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or area:

“The river sweats
Oil and tar
The barges drift
With the turning tide”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“During the Civil War the area became a refuge for service- dodging Texans, and gangs of bushwhackers, as they were called, hid in its fastnesses. Conscript details of the Confederate Army hunted the fugitives and occasional skirmishes resulted.”
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
