San Antonio: City of Missions

Author: Claude B. Aniol
Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar


An older book I found on one of those free websites, it is a nice small account of several of the missions in San Antonio. The Alamo is covered obviously, as are many others. I really had no idea there would be this many in the area and only read the book as I have a family wedding at one of them shortly. The pictures were in black and white, maybe that was the original book or perhaps the website scanned them in that way, but gave nice views of all. Would really like to read more now, granted the history of many (shrines, roles in battle, cultural significances aplenty in this).
