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."
