The Hawkins Ranch in Texas by Margaret Lewis Furse
In 1846, James Boyd Hawkins and his family left North Carolina to establish a sugar plantation in Matagorda County, in the Texas coastal bend. Margaret Lewis Furse, a great-granddaughter of James B. and Ariella Hawkins, has mined public records, family archives, and her own childhood memories to compose this sweeping portrait of more than 160 years of plantation, ranch, and small-town life.
A member of the Hawkins family, Margaret Lewis Furse now lives in Austin. She has taught in Rice University’s religious studies department and in the American studies program at the University of Texas at Austin. Furse is currently a general and managing partner of Hawkins Ranch Ltd.
