The Unbelievable Ordeals At Nacogdoches - Thirty-Eight Years of Constant Rebellion And Turmoil by H.Gordon Pettey.

The Original Indian Trails And Spanish Roads of East Texas, Spanish Named Creeks And Rivers Defined, And The Nine Tribes and Locations Of The Tejas/Hasanai, Including The Nacogdotsi, Plus the Ais and Adaes Tribes For Whom Missions Were Built, Plus more - The history of the East Texas Indians is extremely complicated.  Not only were there Caddo nations living there that dated back to the mound builders, but other immigrant tribes moved onto their lands while they still lived on them, further confusing future generations of Texans - No Cherokee are not Texas Indians and no, there are no native Texas Indian reservations.  This monograph will untangle this wonderful history and allow you to fully understand why the Spanish also moved among them and why their descendents are still there.  Comes with original map.  In a plastic jacket.  $15.00.

The Royal English of East Texas - A dictionary of the early Anglo pioneer speech in East Texas, much of which has already been lost because new generations are being reared listening to the standard American speech that they hear being used by movie actors and radio/TV commentators.  But their ancestor's speech was the speech of English kings and queens of the period of Shakespeare, Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh, Chaucer, Alfred, Marlow and Dryden.  $10.00.
