Farewell Foggy Bottom

The Horn family, from the Foggy Bottom community on the banks of the Neches River in Deep East Texas, is a proud family. They are descendants of some of the earliest settlers in this very remote area. Foggy Bottom folks are known to be clannish, and the Horns are viewed as a backwoods clan by the residents of the nearby town, Pine Hill.

Anthony Hall, the banker’s son from Pine Hill, is in love with Beth Horn, the daughter of the most prominent family in Foggy Bottom. Beth is a brilliant and vivacious young lady who is a premed student at the University of Texas, but the residents of Pine Hill still see her as that little fog-head kid who sold peas from the Horn pea patch.

The prejudice on both sides of the river creates serious problems, especially between the mayor of Pine Hill’s son, Bobby Dodd, and Thomas Horn. A story of trials, faith, integrity, and perseverance unfolds as each of the Horn family tries to merge with their prejudiced-laden environment.
