520    "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"--Publisher's website.
