Christmas in the Neches pine camp a pioneer tale
The article recalls a Christmas Eve celebration at a Neches river logging camp after the Civil War. Residents from Tyler County and nearby areas, many pioneers from Mississippi and the Carolinas, gathered in a pine grove camp to share logs for a mill, decorate a former pioneer home, erect a tower star, and stage a children’s party with homemade gifts, music, dancing, a possum feast, and logging camp sports.
