37 A. W. Neville, The
History
of
Lamar
County,
12. The Spanish Trace,
evidently a military trail by which the Spaniards reached Red River, was
within present Red River County, about three or four miles from its west
boundary. Vial, in 1788, found a dim trail that entered the "Nacitoches
Forest." Possibly it was identical with the Spanish Trace (Greer
County
Record,
908-13).
