I had the great privilege of staying at Bear Bend overnight recently. This cabin was Sam Houston’s bear hunting cabin for some time. Sam Houston University is beginning to move the General’s cabin and several other historical cabins from their secluded piney environment to the campus this week.

Many and much thanks to Denton Florian for having me out to photograph these last images of the cabins in their natural locations. Denton is completing a documentary of the life of Sam Houston. Visit the Sam Houston Project for more information.
