The reader of this book will be taken on a fascinating journey featuring Bill and Barbara West from their high school days in the 1950s to their eventual historic destiny with the Robinson River Plantation in Point Blank Texas. Carved out of the wilderness 160 years ago, the Robinson family from Alabama built and thrived on this land for 120 years and then sold it to the West family in 1978. Destiny arrived when the West family began to discover a multitude of incredible artifacts beneath the plantation earth, and began to uncover the rich historic legacy of the Robinson family. On this beautiful plantation along the Trinity River in East Texas, the Robinsons would experience great happiness and tragic sorrow, as did the West family with the loss of Barbara, only recently, to cancer. The book delivers eye-witness accounts of life changing events in the Robinson family, and lists many of the artifacts found, with follow-up research done by the author. From the days of General Sam Houston dancing in the foyer of the Victorian house, to the sounds of many children laughing and playing, to the designation of the plantation as a State Archeological Landmark, the reader will be captivated by this account of early Texas history.
