Aberneth}~ Chairman LaNana Creek Trail Committee One of the Nacogdoches' projects for the 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial celebration was the construction of the LaNana Creek Trail, a walking­ jogging-cycling path extending from East Austin in the north to the Pillar street soccer field in the south. The purpose of the project was to preserve, heautify, and utilize the flood banks of the LaNaoa Creek for the people of Nacogdoches and to leave the LaNaoa Creek Trail as a lasting remembrance of Nacogdoches' celebration of Texas' 150th birthday. Volunteers worked fifteen years, clearing brush and briar vines and hauling off fifty years of commodes and car bodies and junk that had been dumped in the woods along the banks of LaNana Creek. By 1995 the LaNana Creek Trail extended two-and-one-half miles, from Camino Real Park on Main Street north to Jimmy Hinds Park on Raguet Street. Since then, the Trail has been extended a mile south through the soccer fields to Hanita Creek Park. In its meanderings the Trail ha."i wandered through some of the most historic parts of old Nacogdoches. The LaNana Creek Trail was once the pathway for the Caddo Indians that lived between the creeks, and the Spanish colonials who started coming to Nacogdoches in the eighteenth century, and the Anglos who staked their claims to East Texas in the nineteenth century. The Trail ran through the city lots of Adolphus Sterne and Haden Edwards and Sam Houston. And it passed close by the Eyes of Father Margil, the legendary place of Nacogdoches' own miracle, the Holy Springs. Franciscan Father Antonio Margil de Jesus was already a man of legendary proportions when he came to Nacogdoches in the summer of 1716 and founded Mission Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe de Nacogdoches. The storics about Father Margil grew during his East Texas stay. The most enduring Nacogdoches legend about Father Margil had its beginning during the terrible drought of 1717-1718, when the Indians' crops failed and LaNana and Banita creeks dried up. Stephen F. Austin, in his "Prison Journal'~ entry from Queretero for December 16, 1833, furnishes one of the earliest recorded versions of the legend of the Holy Spring of Father MargiJ: This monk [Father MargilJ is very famous for he has been a second Moses. At Nacogdoches all the springs went dry, and he went OUl wilh images of the saints & necessary apparatm to perronn miracles. He struck a blow with a rod of iron on a rock, which stands on the bank of the creek La Nana, in Nacogdoches, & immediately a stream of water gushed out, sufficient to supply the inhabitants with water to drink. This miracle wa~ canoniJed in Rome. and a print or engraving of the fact was made in order to perpetuate it ... All lhis is true. because several old women told it to me in Nacogdoche& and Bexar, and we ought not to suppose that Rome would FE. Abernethy is an English professor emeritus at Stephen F Austin State University and secre­ tat}' ofthe Texas Folklore Society. 4 EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION order an engraving to be made of a miracle of the water, only Lo deceive credulous people. l The legend of the Holy Springs of Father Margil persists today with many additions and emendations. It is told, for instance, that the padre prayed all night on his knees with his arms outstretched in the fonn of Christ's Cross and with a skull hung around his neck to remind him of man's mortality. Stephen F. Austin, however, gives us the basic outline of this long-lived story. Recognizing Stephen F. Austin's neoclassical-Anglo-humorous skep­ ticism, one is impressed that the legend of Nacogdoches' Holy Springs was.
