Download or read book Trammel s Trace written by Gary L. Pinkerton and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trammel’s Trace tells the story of a borderlands smuggler and an important passageway into early Texas. Trammel’s Trace, named for Nicholas Trammell, was the first route from the United States into the northern boundaries of Spanish Texas. From the Great Bend of the Red River it intersected with El Camino Real de los Tejas in Nacogdoches. By the early nineteenth century, Trammel’s Trace was largely a smuggler’s trail that delivered horses and contraband into the region. It was a microcosm of the migration, lawlessness, and conflict that defined the period. By the 1820s, as Mexico gained independence from Spain, smuggling declined as Anglo immigration became the primary use of the trail. Familiar names such as Sam Houston, David Crockett, and James Bowie joined throngs of immigrants making passage along Trammel’s Trace. Indeed, Nicholas Trammell opened trading posts on the Red River and near Nacogdoches, hoping to claim a piece of Austin’s new colony. Austin denied Trammell’s entry, however, fearing his poor reputation would usher in a new wave of smuggling and lawlessness. By 1826, Trammell was pushed out of Texas altogether and retreated back to Arkansas Even so, as author Gary L. Pinkerton concludes, Trammell was “more opportunist than outlaw and made the most of disorder.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering Those Buried Beneath the CedarsSections of the oldest cemeteries in East Texas contain the history of our state. Grave stones "speak" the names of those who were brave enough to seek a new beginning, leave behind loved ones and travel long distances. Who were these men and women? What can we learn from them? Surely their stories are worth remembering and by doing so we honor their efforts. What religions did they practice and where did these settlers establish churches and cemeteries? How did they mark the graves? Seeking answers to these and other questions, I found myself walking through old burial grounds in Cherokee County and began to notice majestic cedar trees. This led me to ponder, would cedar trees be present in other pioneer cemeteries found throughout East Texas and what might the significance be.The first chapter presents an overview of these topics. Chapter Two examines the presence of cedars in cemeteries located in both Texas and Tennessee, suggesting the pioneers not only brought their religion with them but the significance of the cedar tree as well. Over fifty East Texas cemeteries are featured in this publication with stories of settlers buried at each site. The search for cedar trees and pioneer graves took place over a period of several years. In the process, photographs were made at each location. Research consisted of interviews with descendants, time spent in libraries, archives and museums. Additional information was gathered from relevant websites. Especially helpful were documents preserved by Daughters of the Republic of Texas, the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas, the Texas Historical Commission and Texas State Archives. African American community leaders shared their stories, documents and photographs. The Texas A&M Forest Service provided much needed expertise, with Foresters from the Districts of Jacksonville and Pittsburg as onsite resources.
