Who Are The Alsobrooks?

The Alsobrooks Organization is a prominent multi-cultural family in Hopkins County in the state of Texas. Some family members still reside in the East Caney Community out side of Sulphur Springs, Texas

EAST CANEY, TEXAS.

East Caney, a farming community off Interstate Highway 30 and just west of East Caney Creek nine miles east of Sulphur Springs in eastern Hopkins County, was settled before 1900. In the mid-1930s East Caney had a church, a school, a cemetery, and a number of scattered houses. After World War II most of its residents moved away. Its school was consolidated with the Saltillo school district, and by theearly 1960s only a church and two cemeteries remained in the area. In the early 1990s East Caney was a dispersed ruralcommunity.

Your Reviews of CWoW events

I’ve posted several of your RJ entries (most on Writing Local History panel) to the CWoW site (see “Commerce Week on Writing”  at blogroll). Interesting stuff!

More to come!

Take a look at the updated schedule and other details at www.convergingliteraciescenter.wordpress.com (or “commerce week on writing” at blogroll)

For literacy scholars, the Commerce Week on Writing is a research paradise! The artifacts, interviews, and other notables are coming to US!

Take advantage. Here’s a review by our own Caroline. Should provide a good model for you. As you prepare your reviews, please post them to your blogs. And let me know if you have one you feel is well formed for larger audiences. I’d like to circulate those throughout the Commerce Week on Writing. And after.
