Remi Nadeau
Remi A. Nadeau (August 30, 1920 – June 6, 2016) was an American historian.
Born in Los Angeles, Remi Allen Nadeau was the son of the late Marguerite and Remi E. Nadeau and the great-great grandson of "old" Remi Nadeau from the 1870s, known as the "King of the Desert Freighters." Remi Allen was a fifth-generation Californian, a well-known historian and author, and a descendant of one of California's pioneers.
He was husband to his wife Margaret, and father to their three children.
He died on June 6, 2016, in Santa Barbara, California, of natural causes at the age of 95.
Remi A. Nadeau's great-great grandfather, Remi Nadeau, was an early French-Canadian emigrant to Los Angeles. In 1861, "old" Remi 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.
Nadeau attended University High School in West Los Angeles and was president of the "Boys-League" of his school, while also becoming an Eagle Scout. As a college student, he majored in American and World History at Stanford University and served as the president of Theta Chi, his college fraternity. He received his Bachelor's of Arts degree in 1942.
During World War II, Nadeau became a commissioned officer in the United States Army Air Corps through ROTC. He served with the 320th Bomb Group, flying 23 combat missions in the Martin B-26 Marauder as a reconnaissance photographer, toggle bombardier and tail gunner. Additionally, he served as one of the 320th Group Intelligence Officers, the outfit's newspaper editor and a gunnery-training officer. He saw action in North Africa and the Mediterranean and was also stationed in England and post-war occupied Germany. He completed his military service in 1946 with the rank of major.
Once he returned home after the war, he met Margaret G. Smith of Santa Monica. They began a courtship and married in June 1947 in Santa Monica, California.
