(3.3 miles south) Sizable area of Big Thicket gutted by fire during Civil War. Created (1865) when Confederate militia under Capt. James Kaiser burned trees and brush to drive out hiding "Jayhawkers" (name of unknown origin then applied to anti-war draft dodgers). Most escaped, but land still bears scars from fire. (1970) |
