The Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives, a branch of the Arkansas State Archives, presents “Nicholas Trammell: His life, his legend, his road” at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13, at Historic Washington State Park and via Zoom.
Gary Pinkerton, author of the book Trammel’s Trace: The First Road to Texas from the North, will tell the story of Nicholas Trammell, replacing myth and legend with an incredibly interesting biography of a frontier opportunist and troublemaker.
Trammell’s road is considered one of the earliest routes for migration toward Texas in the early 1800s and was named for Trammell, a Tennessean who made his home in Arkansas and Texas on the fringes of territorial expansion.
Those attending the event in person should follow COVID-19 protocols while inside the WPA Gymnasium, 100 SW Morrison St, Washington, AR.
