From plazas of Spanish times to the River Walk, San Antonio enjoys a broad variety of historic public spaces, recalling the open landscapes Spanish planners had in mind when they designed the city. Later expanded, they still lend San Antonio a distinctive charm. Here they are uniquely portrayed in 167 vintage postcard images, most dating from the first half of the twentieth century, when these urban landscapes were in transition to modern times. Featured are evolutionary stages of three Spanish-era plazasMain, Military and Alamoplus the River Walk and Travis, San Pedro and Brackenridge parks, in addition to images of a half dozen more. Each chapter begins with introductory text.
Celebrated San Antonio historian Lewis F. Fisher, whose Maverick Publishing Company was acquired by Trinity University Press in 2015, has published forty-five books on topics ranging from San Antonio's Spanish heritage to its urban development, and from the military to sports, architecture, and multicultural legends. A former member of the San Antonio River Commission, he has written numerous books himself, including Chili Queens, Hay Wagons, and Fandangos: The Spanish Plazas in Frontier San Antonio, winner of the 2015 San Antonio Conservation Society Publication Award, and Saving San Antonio: The Preservation of a Heritage, republished in a second edition, and Maverick: The American Name That Became a Legend.
