Educators know their stuff! I'm hoping there will be a former 7th grade Texas History teacher in the audience who might give me a better grade than Ms. Taylor at Forest Park Junior High in Longview. And maybe even a couple who have looked for the treasure themselves!

In this brand-new presentation, I get to tell the story of Nicholas Trammell, replacing myth and legend with an incredibly interesting biography of a frontier opportunist and troublemaker. 

The program will be held in person in Washington, Arkansas, not far from where Trammell ran a tavern and gambling operation. It will also be available virtually. Registration is requested, but not required. For more details, go this event page from Arkansas Archives.

I will be presenting an Arkansas-centric presentation on Trammel’s Trace for the Hot Spring County Historical Society. The program will detail the earliest route for immigration to Texas by way of Arkansas, and the Arkansan for whom the road is named.

The program will be on Saturday afternoon, October 9th, in The Great Room at Arkansas State University-Three Rivers, in Malvern.

I'm very pleased to be speaking to this prestigious and energetic group. This will be an updated edition of my core presentation on Trammel's Trace and focused on the interests of the audience.

The public program will be live-streamed on Youtube beginning at 7:15 p.m. This will also be the first in-person meeting in over a year. The group will meet at the Trini Mendenhall Community Center at 1414 Wirt Road in Houston at 6:30 p.m. for a social hour and 7 p.m. for the program.

Presented by The Center for Texas Studies at TCU in conjunction with the Fort Worth Library, these workshops are aimed at increasing the historical awareness of the community.

The series is designed to make the public aware of the important, yet often overlooked historical resources around them, and how to preserve them for posterity.

The goal of the workshops is to prove that “every person is a historian,” and that they can, by their deeds and actions, preserve a small part of the cultural and historical fabric of this region.

This will be a completely updated presentation. A great way to start the new year. Click here for more information.

This will be a Zoom meeting. Pre-registration is required, click here to register. This will be a Zoom meeting.

Every artifact in the Bryan Museum in Galveston, no matter how small, has a story. And those stories can be about some of the most significant events in Texas history. One particular museum artifact, a cryptic message written in the Cherokee alphabet, provides an indication of the cultural and social challenges facing Native Americans in East Texas.

When I scheduled this presentation it was an event when the museum would stay open late, and included a happy hour!. Now, it is a virtual event which means that many others outside of Galveston can attend via Zoom. So it will be BYOB, so sign up and stock up, no need to dress up!

To register for the Zoom event go to https://thebryanmuseum.org/event/after-hours-in-the-museum-3/. Before the meeting you will receive a link via email that will connect you to the presentation. If you have not used Zoom before, it will download when you click the link. Simple to use.

Presentation and book signing about the best-explored treasure legend in East Texas. This chapter of the SRT is one of the more engaged, and engaging, that I have encountered. I will be presenting on True Believers and the treasure legend of Hendricks Lake.

The event will be at the Texas Tradition restaurant (where else?), in Katy TX.
