Voices of East Texas is a collection of plays written by Stephen F. Austin State University Professor Emeritus Dr. Bobby Johnson. Before creating the plays, Dr. Johnson accumulated five-hundred plus interviews dealing with East Texas, topics ranging from the region's agricultural roots to modern industrial development, with side trips to both world wars and cultural happenings. In this collection, Dr. Johnson's interviews have been used verbatim to preserve a sense of history, though some were edited for dramatic effect. Regardless, the collection is an accurate portrayal of the region and its people.
