Angelina County is the only county in the state of Texas which is named after a woman. It is located in East Texas and is named after a Native American Woman who served as an interpreter for French explorers and converted to Christianity through Spanish Missionaries. She even traveled to Mexico with these priests, then returned to her village to help keep Christianity alive.
I have created a box in honor of this "Little Angel". I want to plant it this week in her county, if time (and my health) will allow. I hope others will enjoy this meaningful tribute to one of Texas' founding mothers.
