    Founding San Antonio
    Jan 2 2018

    On June 13, 1691, Spanish explorers gave a name to the spring-fed river whose banks they crossed on that feast day of St. Anthony de Padua - San Antonio. It would take twenty-seven more years of political intrigue, religious zeal, and French incursions before they would be able to plant a permanent settlement there, seeding it with a hardy mix of soldiers, missionaries, and frontiersmen.

  • Missionary San Antonio

    Missionary San Antonio
    Jan 3 2018

    Between 1718 and 1731, San Antonio would grow to almost 300 "vecinos," thanks to the establishment of four new missions and the "entrepreneurialism" of the soldiers stationed there, who defied Spanish import restrictions to blaze the first trade routes between Spanish Texas and Eastern North America.

  • The Canary Islanders

    The Canary Islanders
    Jan 4 2018

    When sixteen Canary Island families arrived in San Antonio in March of 1731, they quickly made an impression on the small town. Their first fourteen years in San Antonio would be marked by political conflict, as they formed the first civic government and used their political savvy to advance their vision for their new home.

If you consider yourself a student of Texas history, this series is a must-listen! The researcher packs an astounding volume of factual information, drawn from primary sources, into short episodes of 15-45 minutes. I’m into the 3rd season, which details the adventures of Cabeza de Vaca, and I can’t quit listening!

The research put into this podcast is fantastic and fascinating. I love San Antonio and generally speaking, South Texas. This podcast gives a great historical perspective to this great City.

What a find! Grew up reading Texas history but never heard of the Baron. Also never heard of the importance of Spanish slave laws which unlike Anglo law, did not enslave the children of slaves.
