Beskrivning

This revised and reformatted edition of a 1979 classic preserves the illustrations of the beloved artist José Cisneros. Frontier San Antonio attracted short-tempered miscreants and adventurers, but also missionary priests, conservative merchants and proper ladies. These stories, which arose from the commotion, are often told in words of participants in the events.
