Description

San Antonio, City for a King takes us on an extraordinary adventure through
an amazingly unknown, yet expectantly fitting, piece of Texas’ origins. We
learn how 16 families from Iberia’s Canary Islands answered their monarch’s
call to populate a desolate northeast area of his New Spain for a strategic
political reason.
There was the year-long journey: crossing the Atlantic and then trekking north
over present-day Mexico to Bejar. We see how these people initiated the township
of San Fernando, guided its growth for generations and helped form many Texas
traditions. And we follow their descendants through the town’s evolution, through
two rebellions, three changes of patriotism and one name change…to San Antonio.
