Nolan's Trace, between Alexandria and San Antonio, parallels the
Natchitoches and San Antonio trace, four miles south. The great camp
ground at Fallen Springs, four miles south of Many, is still remembered
as the place where many murders and robberies were committed, and today
searchers come hither to explore for lost treasures. There is now in
possession of Leo Vandegaer, a part of a silver cross, found by W. G.
Lewing, four miles southeast of Many in 1888, and a part of a
counterfeiter's outfit found near Carter's Ferry some years ago. Where
the cross was found ruins of burned buildings are noticeable. On every
side souvenirs of Spanish occupation are brought to light, and as years
pass by history and fable people the Sabine Country with the extremes of
good and bad in the Spanish character.
