Additional Details

first edition. This book transcends its title, covering secular as well as religious history. It is an incredibly detailed history of Spanish Texas from the earliest exploration through the early 19th century; the post-1836 period is covered in the rare final supplement volume. "The best history of the three centuries of Spanish and Mexican Texas. . . . Castaneda gives us the first detailed account of literally dozens of expeditions and settlements in Texas. . . . The most extensive research study ever conducted, before or since, into the virtually untapped manuscript collections in the Mexican and Spanish archives"--Jenkins, Basic Texas Books 27.
