Book Reviews of San Antonio Then and Now (Then & Now)
Book Review: Every Texan
Summary: 5 Stars
They say that every Texan has two hometowns: his own and San Antonio. My father brought his family to San Antonio in 1955, and at sixteen I found a true home there. I am the eldest child, so I never stayed in San Antonio for very long, but I would keep coming back to S.A. This book is food for the heart of the exile. Every photograph is enough to make one sigh for the city that Will Rogers said "has something no Chamber of Commerce can destroy." O. Henry said, "Owlish, polyglot San Antonio." I love this book and I love that city.
Summary of San Antonio Then and Now (Then & Now)
Just as Sam Houston hoped, everyone does remember the Alamo, but modern San Antonio is so much more than that famous historic site. Building on the national recognition it enjoyed as the host of the World Fair in 1968, San Antonio is a center for the medical and biotechnology industry, as well as many multi-national companies. Twenty-first century business development blends harmoniously with Spanish and Mexican influences, local authors provide authoritative, insider text, and the archival and contemporary format of this tour offers a lively journey through San Antonio's fascinating history.
