Remi Nadeau (III) is a grandson of Remi Nadeau, an early French-Canadian emigrant to Los Los Angeles
He earned a bachelor"s degree from Stanford University and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
In 1861, Nadeau established the first mule-team freight transportation service crossing the Mojave Desert to serve mining areas such as Cerro Gordo and Calico. After the railroads put mule-team freight companies out of business, Nadeau turned to other ventures in the Los Angeles area, including a beet sugar refinery and a hotel. Several of the books by historian Remi Nadeau recount the history of the early California mining days and of early Southern California, among other subjects.
