Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'San Fernando: The Villa Capital of the Province of Texas' is an authoritative historical and genealogical study of the early development of San Antonio. Written by Frederick C. Chabot, the work focuses on the settlement of San Fernando de Béxar, which stood as the first civil municipality and the seat of government for the Spanish province of Texas. The book provides a detailed examination of the arrival of the Canary Islanders in 1731 and their foundational role in establishing a permanent civilian community in the wilderness.Through rigorous research into primary records, Chabot outlines the administrative structures, land grants, and lineage of the families who shaped the region's social and political identity. The narrative bridges the gap between the military presence of the presidio and the spiritual mission of the nearby Franciscan settlements, offering a complete picture of life on the colonial frontier.
