    The Historical Narrative of San Pedro Creek by Maria Watson Pfeiffer and David Haynes

    The Historical Narrative of San Pedro Creek By Maria Watson Pfeiffer and David Haynes [Note: The images reproduced in this internal report are all in the public domain, but the originals remain the intellectual property of their respective owners. None may be reproduced in any way using any media without the specific written permission of the owner. The authors of this report will be happy to help facilitate acquiring such permission.] Native Americans living along San Pedro Creek and the San Antonio River 10,000 years ago were sustained by the swiftly flowing waterways that nourished a rich array of vegetation and wildlife. This virtual oasis in an arid landscape became a stopping place for Spanish expeditions that explored the area in the 17th and early 18th centuries. It was here that Governor Domingo Terán de los Ríos, accompanied by soldiers and priests, camped under cottonwood, oak, and mulberry trees in June 1691. Because it was the feast of Saint Anthony de Padua, they named the place San Antonio.1 In April 1709 an expedition led by Captain Pedro de Aguirre, including Franciscan missionaries Fray Isidro Félix de Espinosa and Fray Antonio Buenventura Olivares, visited here on the way to East Texas to determine the possibility of establishing new missions there. On April 13 Espinosa, the expedition’s diarist, wrote about a lush valley with a plentiful spring. “We named it Agua de San Pedro.” Nearby was a large Indian settlement and a dense growth of pecan, cottonwood, cedar elm, and mulberry trees. Espinosa recorded, “The river, which is formed by this spring, could supply not only a village, but a city, which could easily be founded here.”2 When Captain Domingo Ramón visited the area in 1716, he also recommended that a settlement be established here, and within two years Viceroy Marqués de Valero directed Governor Don Martín de Alarcón to found a town on the river.

    BIOGRAFÍA APRESURADA DEL LANZAROTEÑO JUAN LEAL GORAZ, EN EL ANIVERSARIO DE LA FUNDACIÓN DE SAN ANTONIO DE TEJAS (1731-2006) MANUEL A. FARIÑA GONZÁLEZ A partir del estudio de la familia de Juan Leal Goraz, en la que debemos in- cluir también a sus hijos casados: Juan Leal, El Mozo, y José Leal, procedentes del pago de San Bartolomé de Lanzarote; pretendemos adentrarnos en el conoci- miento histórico-cultural de la insospechada experiencia vivida por este grupo de colonos canarios en su largo recorrido hasta llegar al extremo norte de la Pro- vincia de Texas y Nuevas Filipinas. La ruta que se inició en Lanzarote les obligó a pasar por el puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife - San Cristóbal de La Habana - Veracruz - Méjico (capital del Virreinato de Nueva España) - El Saltillo - Mon- clova - hasta finalizar su camino en las cercanías del presidio militar de San An- tonio de Béjar, en la frontera política del norte del Virreinato. Aun a costa de ím- probos esfuerzos, y sorprendentemente con escasas bajas personales, procedieron al exacto cumplimiento del Real Decreto del año 1729, promulgado en San Ildefonso (Segovia), mediante el cual se les encargaba oficialmente la fundación de la nueva Villa de San Antonio de Béjar. Una vez consolidada la fundación y el consiguiente reparto de terrenos, de- bemos tener en cuenta que, hasta la primera mitad del siglo XIX, fueron canarios todos aquellos que ocuparon el cargo de Alcalde Mayor o presidente electo del Cabildo de San Antonio de Tejas. La lista se inició con el citado Juan Leal Go- raz quien, al igual que el resto de sus compatriotas, impulsó determinadas políti- cas de alianzas y de matrimonios entre las familias isleñas, lo cual les permitiría mantener el control político y social de la comunidad establecida desde el mes de marzo de 1731.

Brands, Ph.D. (First Reader), Emilio Zamora, Ph.D. (2nd Reader) In 1821, Texas and its citizens were part of Mexico. By 1846, Anglo-American immigrants had transformed the demographics, culture, and governance of Texas. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in Nacogdoches, Texas’ oldest city. The influx of Anglo-Americans into Texas and the accompanying regime changes transformed the Tejano border town into an Anglo-dominated city, prompting struggles over civil rights, economic power, and political authority between Mexican- and Anglo-Texans both as individuals and as ethnic communities. Several violent insurrections pitted Nacogdochians against Anglo and Mexican outsiders as well as each other, culminating in the largest organized revolt against the Republic of Texas by its own citizens: the ultimately doomed Córdova Rebellion of 1838 and 1839. Yet this was the last gasp of Tejano resistance to the Anglicization of East Texas. By 1846, Anglo numerical superiority and American annexation forced Nacogdoches’ Tejanos to accept an Anglo- dominated social hierarchy in order to preserve their rights, property, and community.
