The Fredonia Chapter, Texas Society Sons of the American Revolution recently held its bimonthly meeting.
The program featured Dr. Morris Jackson who presented the story of the French Trader and adventurer Louis Juchereau de St. Denis and his travels across Texas. St. Denis helped establish six 1716 -1717 Spanish missions in East Texas, and provided food and supplies to the missionaries and Native Caddo Indians during times of need. Recent archeological investigations have found his trading campsite in western Nacogdoches County.
The next scheduled meeting is November 13, 2014; for information http://fredonia-sar.org
