Customer Reviews

It is what it is.

Howard Swindel has ripped away the curtain of racial hatred, suspicion, and fear that has gripped Sabine County, Texas since the 1800's. Some in Sabine County still proudly display an old picture post card showing several lynched black human beings. The rock that Swindel turned over some 20 years ago continues to conceal the same degraded attitudes, ignorance, and sickness that existed then and 100 years ago. The Confederate battle flag continues to wave in front of broken down single-wides in many parts of Sabine County. Anyone contemplating a move to Sabine County should read this work by Mr. Swindel before making a decision.
