Nacogdoches Historic Sites invites the public to a free presentation of Contraband Culture in Nacogdoches by author and historian Gary Pinkerton. Drawing from his books Trammel’s Trace and Bridles and Biscuits, Pinkerton will explore the vibrant—and often illicit—world of trade and horse smuggling in Spanish colonial Texas prior to 1821. His talk follows the journey of the displaced families of Los Adaes, who became the founding families of modern Nacogdoches, and the intricate networks they navigated in the process.
The presentation will take place on Thursday, August 1st at 3:30 p.m. at Zion Hill Historic Site (324 N Lanana St., Nacogdoches).
Following the presentation, Mr. Pinkerton will be signing and selling copies of his books.
