Running the River: Secrets of the Sabine
"At 555 miles long, the Sabine is among the longest rivers in the nation but, more interesting and adding to its rich lore, is the fact that it flows through three of the continent's unique and colorful ecosystems: the Blackland Prairies at the southern tip of the Great Plains, the Pineywoods of East Texas and Louisiana, and the Hardwood Bottoms and vast marshes along the Gulf Coast. The word "sabine" means cypress in Spanish and anyone who has crossed the great river on Interstate 10 can see that is was aptly names. The river not only flows through some of America's most beautiful terrain, it also forms the key artery of one of the most industrialized areas in the nation"
