A French Settlement in Texas


An Unknown French Colony Settlement in Texas
Have you ever heard about "Field of Asylum" ? 1818, 20 French Bonapartist soldiers who had fought in Europe during Napoleonic Wars arrived in US and found a settlement in Texas ( along the Trinity River ). It was called "Champ d'Asile" which means "Field of Asylum" in English. It was a very short-lived settlement, built in January and abandoned July 1818.

This is the map of this historic settlement. It doesn't look large but it was well established and built.
