Before this way of life ended with World War II, professional photographer Larry Jene Fisher spent a decade between the 1930s and 1940s photographing Big Thicket people living and working in the old ways. His photographs, the only known collection on this subject, constitute an irreplaceable record of lifeways that first took root in the southeastern woodlands of the colonial United States and eventually spread all across the Southern frontier. Big Thicket People presents Fisher's photographs in suites that document a wide slice of Big Thicket life-people, dogs, camps, deer hunts, farming, syrup mills, rooter hogs and stock raising, railroad tie making, barrel stave making, chimney building, peckerwood sawmills, logging, turpentining, town life, church services and picnics, funerals and golden weddings, and dances and other amusements. Accompanying each suite of images is a cultural essay by Thad Sitton, who also introduces the book with a historical overview of life in the Big Thicket. C. E. Hunt provides an informative biography of Larry Jene Fisher. 410 0$aBridwell Texas history series. 606 $aCountry life$zTexas$zBig Thicket$xHistory$y20th century$vPictorial works 606 $aOutdoor life$zTexas$zBig Thicket$xHistory$y20th century$vPictorial works 606 $aCountry life$zTexas$zBig Thicket$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aOutdoor life$zTexas$zBig Thicket$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPhotographers$zTexas, East$vBiography 607 $aBig Thicket (Tex.)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century$vPictorial works 607 $aBig Thicket (Tex.)$vBiography$vPictorial works 607 $aBig Thicket (Tex.)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 607 $aBig Thicket (Tex.)$vBiography 615 0$aCountry life$xHistory 615 0$aOutdoor life$xHistory 615 0$aCountry life$xHistory 615 0$aOutdoor life$xHistory 615 0$aPhotographers 676 $a976.4/15 700 $aSitton$b Thad$f1941-$01651488 701 $aFisher$b Larry Jene$01651489 701 $aHunt$b C.
