I was looking for the book and suddenly realized that the story takes place about 35 miles down the road from me in Seguin,Gonzales County, Texas. Here is a link to some of the sites mentioned in the book. If any of you make it to the San Antonio area and would like to drive out and visit the sites firsthand, let me know. I'd be glad to be tour guide around Seguin.   http://www.seguin.net/truwomen.html   Kindest Regards, Glenn --- On Thu, 7/31/08, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Author of the book, True Women To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, July 31, 2008, 10:25 AM thank you.

Glenn, Thank you so much for the tour of Seguin. I really enjoyed all the information.I don't really know much about Texas, my Collins family were early settlers of a Gonzales County, Texas. They are buried in Antioch Cemetery, Gonzales County, Texas. Is this Seguin close to by?
