The Stories of I. C. Eason, King of the Dog People
So called because of their hunting methods, the "Dog People" were the early settlers of the Neches River bottom in East Texas. Eason, a child of the Depression, was among the last of the breed to eke out a living on this swamp land. These 18 stories, told to and shaped by photographer Pittman, show that Eason is as gifted a storyteller as he is a hunter. His tales include vignettes on hunting and fishing; tall tales of bulls, snakes, and ghosts; and the story of his courageous fight against the timber and oil interests that tried to steal his land.
