Trey Smith is an Austin native and has roots beginning at Bastrop, Texas when his Smith family arrived in December of 1838 to the Republic of Texas. Oddly, his passion of early Texas history before and during the Republic of Texas and the Indian Tribes of Texas, came from his mother who was related to Clyde Kluchohn, who lived with and wrote several books about the Navaho Indians and was the president of the American Anthropological Association in 1947. Both Trey and his mother became explorers of Texas, traveling to the Alamo, Goliad and San Jacinto along with other Texas sites. When he watched John Wayne's "The Alamo" as a little boy the Texas hook was set. His enduring love of Texas History continues to this day. Trey is bringing some fun artifacts to share and refreshments will be served.
