5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding new book by dedicated and objective researcher.,
By A Customer
This review is from: San Antonio De Bexar: A Community on New Spain's Northern Frontier (Hardcover)
This book treats in great depth the history of San Antonio, Texas. It approaches the history from the standpoint of "community" formation. From an author who served as James Michener's researcher while writing his "TEXAS" one would expect the research is thorough and objective. One is not disappointed! J. F. de la Teja is the greatest living historian of San Antonio. Here, he puts its history, its people, its institutions, its acequias and how they blend together in a single source. This book covers the early [Spanish] period of the city, and provides the opportunity to see the early settlement, to imagine the lives of those who began a new life here on the far northern reaches of New Spain, back in the early eighteenth century. It is a "must have" book for anyone interested in San Antonio's early days: an outstanding resource for the student of Texas history. |
