Produktinformationen zu „San Antonio, City for a King (ePub)“
San Antonio, City for a King takes us on an extraordinary adventure through
an amazingly unknown, yet expectantly fitting, piece of Texas' origins. We
learn how 16 families from Iberia's Canary Islands answered their monarch's
call to populate a desolate northeast area of his New Spain for a strategic
political reason.
There was the year-long journey: crossing the Atlantic and then trekking north
over present-day Mexico to Bejar. We see how these people initiated the township
of San Fernando, guided its growth for generations and helped form many Texas
traditions. And we follow their descendants through the town's evolution, through
two rebellions, three changes of patriotism and one name change...to San Antonio.

Autoren-Porträt von Rudy Felix Casanova
"Living very happily in San Antonio's West Side barrio in the 1940"s", says the author, "I grew up thinking I was one hundred per cent
Mexican American. And even though my paternal grandfather always
made it a point to stress that we were Canarians, I had no notion of my
Spanish genealogy...until my later years."
He joined the Canary Islands Descendants Association in the city, and
learned from hundreds of Canarian "cousins" about their unique legacy.
He served as president for three terms, during which time he delivered
many public speeches to audiences that were, he says, surprisingly
interested and hungry for the magnificent history of those brave founding families from Spain.
