Did you know that the wood of bois d'arc is so strong and rot resistant that it was used as pier and beam material in old houses in my east Dallas neighborhood? And the early settlers used to carve tombstones out of the bois d'arc wood; some are still around today in the old cemeteries.

Owned a house in a county seat immediately North of the Home of the Greatest State Fair in the entire Country (and maybe even the entire North American Continent) that was built in 1908. Could have been the set for the movie "The Money Pit". Had bois d'arc pier and beam, unfortunately, those wooden posts seemed to float in that semi-solidified gumbo they called soil in the Blackland Prairie, and the floors in the house looked like a 2-4 foot chop on the Gulf of Mexico.

Those too were cut off by the last ice age, altho closer to their relations "more than 100 miles (160 km) separated from, and yet closely genetically related to, the vast expanse of pine trees of the Piney Woods region that covers parts of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma." Not much of them left after the 2011 Bastrop County Complex fire with the endangered Houston Toad losing much of its habitat. Hope they make a good comeback.

The Ground sloths of North America may not have hung out there much
