SynopsisThis is a pathbreaking study of Tejano ranchers and settlers in the Lower R o Grande Valley from their colonial roots to 1900. The first book to delineate and assess the complexity of Mexican-Anglo interaction in south Texas, it also shows how Tejanos continued to play a leading role in the commercialization of ranching after 1848 and how they maintained a sense of community. Despite shifts in jurisdiction, the tradition of Tejano land holding acted as a stabilizing element and formed an important part of Tejano history and identity. The earliest settlers arrived in the 1730s and established numerous ranchos and six towns along the river. Through a careful study of land and tax records, brands and bills of sale of livestock, wills, population and agricultural censuses, and oral histories, Alonzo shows how Tejanos adapted to change and maintained control of their ranchos through the 1880s, when Anglo encroachment and changing social and economic conditions eroded most of the community's land base., A revisionist account of the Tejano experience in south Texas from its Spanish colonial roots to 1900.

Excellent easy to read book
I found this book about the history of my mother's youth exciting and easy to read. For an old person like myself the letters were large and easy on my eyes. Recommend for all interested in the development of Tejas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
