East Texas is a distinct cultural and geographic area in the U.S. state of Texas.
According to the Handbook of Texas, the East Texas area "may be separated from the rest of Texas roughly by a line extending from the Red River in north central Lamar County southwestward to east central Limestone County and then southeastward to Galveston Bay", though some separate the Gulf Coast area into a separate region.

 A Biographical Sketch of Captain James and Mary Sabinal Campbell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Mary Campbell was probably born in 1799, at Crow's Ferry, Sabine River, Texas (north of Sabinetown, Sabine County), along a well-travelled road between Spanish Nacogdoches and Natchitoches, Louisiana.
Seldom in the annals of early Texas history have the lives of an ordinary frontier couple been so thoroughly documented, which is all the more amazing, considering that one marriage partner was illiterate and perhaps the other as well.
Nevertheless, a biography of their lives deserves to survive and occupy some permanent niche in the annals of frontier Texas, where it might be perpetuated for the edification of generations of Texans still unborn.
