El Camino Real de los Tejas: Texas-Louisiana Border Itinerary

El Camino Real de los Tejas, which began in Mexico, stretched east into Louisiana. This tangible borderland created by frontier forts and missions resulted in today’s multicultural Crossroads Region. These sites reflect the role of military and religious activity by three nations: Spain, France, and the United States.
