I doubt it, but who knows. . .
That type used to get run out of the
communities in my dad's and grandpa's
day. There were a couple couple in east
Texas that tried to start their own little
kingdoms before this was a republic and
the settlers had to handle it the old fashioned
way. They didn't have near the problems
we have today
I once bought a home, and lived in east Texas..in what was called the "Golden Triangle" area... I had the good fortune to make friends with a local resident who was well informed in local history, and he related this item to me..
It existed from the coast, along the Sabine river, from Port Arthur..up throught Orange, Beaumont, etc.
In earlier Texas history, there was once a political feature somewhere in the area, referred to as a "Gore".. That was a mapping mistake, that left
a wedge shaped area, where neither Texas or Louisana had ..or apparently wanted, jurisdiction.
So it doesn't take very many guesses to figure out what type of people were inclined to settle there..it was a wild place for many years..
