Church Oak 0002

New Braunfels br/Comal County, Texas br/29 42.198' N 98 07 .676' W br/br/An Indian legend is associated with this tree. On a concrete marker at the base of the tree is inscribed: "Folklore says that here, in the dawn of Texas history, stood an Indian village in which one of the early missionaries lingered many days; that here a vision of the chief's daughter freed the first German in Texas. Tradition says that under this tree Mass was offered by the Abbe Em Domenech in 1849." br/br/Live Oak (Quercus virginiana)
