The Road/rom Nacogdoches to Natchitoches: John Sprowl & the Failed Fredonian Rebellion By RICK SHERROD bit more than one hundred miles ofthe old EI Camino Real separated Natchitoches, the most important Aninetccnth century town in northwest Louisiana, from Nacogdoches, the oldest continuously inhabited city within the currcnt borders ofTexas. The story ofeach city's founding is rooted in a fascinating (iffanciful) Caddo legend about twin brothers. To forestall any future conflict between the families of his two sons, a Caddo chief instructed the twins to depart their tribal home on the Sabine. The brother "Natchitoches" traveled three days toward the rising sun while the other twin, HNacogdoches," journeyed three days to the west. In each respective location, both men raised their families and developed settlements. With sufficient insulation to prevent frictions over rights to hunting grounds, "the two brothers remained friendly and the road between the two communities was well traveled."1 Regular nlovement between the two settlements continued long after the Indian population of the area had vanished.

The Story of the Texas Empresarios
LESSON PLAN GONE TO TEXAS: THE STORY OF THE TEXAS EMPRESARIOS Social Studies, Grade 4 OBJECTIVE Using educational films from the 1960s and 1980s, students will examine the varied experiences of the nineteenth century Texas Empresarios, and identify the important contributions of significant individuals, including Moses Austin, Stephen F. Austin, Baron de Bastrop, Martín de León and Green DeWitt. This film is a valuable resource that was saved through the Texas Archive of the Moving Image’s digital preservation program. The film educates and entertains, containing extraordinary reenactments of specific events that occurred in early Texas. This lesson highlights the Mexican settlement and colonization of Texas and traces the events that led up to the Texas Revolution, such as the 1825 Colonization Law of Coahuila y Tejas and its reversal in 1830, the Fredonian Rebellion, and the politically divisive land dispute between Texas Empresarios Martín de León and Green DeWitt. Most of the lesson focuses on Moses Austin and his son, Stephen F. Austin, as they worked to bring the first colonists or “The Old Three Hundred” to Texas. This lesson, utilizing a unique and engaging educational film created by the Texas Education Agency in 1978, serves as a great introduction to the Texas Empresarios and nicely segues into the Texas Revolutionary period. PROCESS Prior Knowledge Students should have prior knowledge of the following areas to successfully take part in this activity: The following activity assumes that students know Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821 and, as a result, Texas became a part of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas.
