Author Presentation: Contraband Culture in Nacogdoches

Join author and historian Gary Pinkerton for Contraband Culture in Nacogdoches, a presentation 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. The talk traces the journey of the displaced families of Los Adaes, who became the founding families of modern Nacogdoches, and the complex networks they navigated along the way.

Following the presentation, Gary will be signing and selling copies of his books.
