to Zabrak, from amphibians to vacuum-breathers, features everything
you need to know, including
- complete physical description and official designation, so you
can tell your sentients from your non-sentients, and your humanoids
from your insectoids
- homeworld: from dry and dusty Tatooine, stormy and waterlogged
Kamino, to arctic Hoth, and countless other strange and varied
worlds

spell
- notable appearance: a listing of one of the more significant

For a little girl learning about life from parents and family, the
effect that the indian agent had on everyones life would not be
noticed. Their life would be 'normal'. Later on that influence
would be seen as a controlled environment. The closeness of family
and friends and our spirituality provided the strength to endure
and make a life as best we could. These stories act as a window
into the joy and pain of those early years. While the stories are
true I have included some childrens stories told to me by my
grandparents which were used as teaching tools.

In 1846, James Boyd Hawkins, his wife Ariella, and their young
children left North Carolina to establish a sugar plantation in
Matagorda County, in the Texas coastal bend.
In "The Hawkins Ranch in Texas: From Plantation Times to the
Present," Margaret Lewis Furse, a great-granddaughter of James B.
and Ariella Hawkins and an active partner in today's Hawkins Ranch,
has mined public records, family archives, and her own childhood
memories to compose this sweeping portrait of more than 160 years
of plantation, ranch, and small-town life.
Letters sent by the Hawkinses from the Texas plantation to their
North Carolina family in the mid-nineteenth century describe sugar
making, the perils of cholera and fevers, the activities of
children, and the "management" of slaves. Public records and
personal papers reveal the experience of the Hawkins family during
the Civil War, when J. B. Hawkins sold goods to the Confederacy and
helped with Confederate coastal defenses near his plantation. In
the 1930s, the death of their parents left the ranch in the hands
of four sisters, at a time when few women owned and ran cattle
operations.
"The Hawkins Ranch in Texas: From Plantation Times to the Present"
offers a panoramic view of agrarian lifeways and how they must
adapt to changing times.
