As far back as anyone can remember, East Texas folktales and
legends have told the stories of a particularly rugged and
beautiful area of forest. That land is called the Big Thicket, and
one woman is known for acting as its most valuable advocate-one who
dedicated her life to telling others about this pristine piece of
wildlife, while encouraging children and adults alike to take time
to enjoy the beauty of God's nature.
That woman? Ethel Osborn Hill, who, through the legacy of her
work, is still teaching others to stop and smell the roses. After a
long and productive life of more than on hundred years, she will be
remembered as a positive and inspirational driving force in Texas
history-and through "Ma Thicket," her story is told to completion
for the very first time.
In addition to tales of Hill's life in the Big Thicket, this
fascinating biography also contains myriad extras that contribute
to relating the life of this extraordinary mother, wife, speaker,
poet, and naturalist. Readers will find personal accounts,
photographs, and a complete collection of poetry, as well as
newspaper articles that have provided details on her life and work
throughout the years.
