  • 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.

  • Controlling Expansive Soil Destructiveness by Neep Vertical
    4R ~ransportation Research Record 1032 Controlling Expansive Soil Destructiveness by Fol_Jr His:rhw~v~ neep Vertical Geomembn~nP-~ on - - - '"-'- - --.,1 - '\IALCOLM L. STEINBERG ABSTRACT Expansive soils are a worldwide problem. In the United States damages caused by expansive soils probably exceeded $10 billion in 19B4. One-half of these damages involved highways, streets, and roads. Studies and research have been conducted by international, national, state, and educational institutions. The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation has used rela­ tively impervious fabrics (geomembranes) placed vertically along the pavement edges through the zone of moisture activity to minimize the destructiveness of expansive soils. These vertical geomembranes have been placed in sections of four highways in Sctn Anlonlo, Texas, varying from 1/4 to 2 mi. Te!'!ting proce­ dures involved measuring the smoothness of the riding surface and the cracking of the pavement surface, installing moisture sensors, and determining mainte­ nance requirements. Two of the earlier projects had records of 4 and 5 years without significant surface cracking, which is an indication that the use of the geomemhrane barrier contributed to a better riding surface and less mainte­ nance. All four tests indicate that the fabric can be placed in a variety of ways. Conclusions to date offer guarded optimism that the deep vertical geo­ membrane barrier can reduce the destructiveness of expansive soils on pavement. Expansive soils are a worldwide problem and the sub­ INTERSTATE 410 ject of international conferences and studies. In the United States these soils extend from coast to coast The first test section of a deep vertical geomem­ and from border to border.

  • Introduction Part 1
    Introduction Part 1 The Brackenridge Park Landscape A Condensed History Imagine a clear, cold river originating from a deep, gushing artesian spring, not trickling, but rushing, chasing itself through prairie grassland. It forges a winding path that stretches southeasterly, like a ribbon unraveling for nearly 250 miles. Life blooms and bursts in many forms along this river’s upper banks for thousands upon thousands of years, until eventually, a city grows. The Brackenridge Park landscape was once a stomping ground for mammoths and other prehistoric life. It was part of a ritual migratory route for Indigenous Americans. It is the origin of one of this country’s earliest democratized water systems, executed through a Spanish system of acequias and built by Indigenous people to irrigate and provide potable water to the Spanish missions (1719 – 1724), and eventually to provide water to secular settlements for almost one hundred years (1770s–1850s). It is the site of early industrial development in the form of limestone quarries that first built up the city (1850s – 1880). It is the site of a Civil War Confederate tannery and sawmill where enslaved people labored (1863 – 1865) and the site of a cement company, which, by the hands of workers, further contributed to the building up of San Antonio (1880 – 1908). This landscape then became a grand, shady, scenic driving park and a river swimming hole that attracted locals and tourists from around the country (1899) (figures 1 and 2). It became the grounds for a charming display of buildings that melded German architectural styles of “half-timbering or rock-and-mortar methods”1 with native limestone materials that resulted in distinctly local buildings and structures that still dot the park and the city.

    Rare Books Collection Development Policy Stephanie Noell, Special Collections Librarian Purpose: This policy is intended to provide guidelines for developing UTSA’s rare book holdings for the next five years (2020-2025), at which time it will be fully reviewed. Our Vision is to bring national recognition to the university for distinctive research collections documenting the diverse histories and development of San Antonio and South Texas. Our Mission is to build, preserve, and provide access to distinctive archival, photographic, and printed materials, with a particular commitment to collections with significance to our region. We embrace the changing digital landscape by actively exploring new ways to enhance access to our collections. We support the university’s ascent to Tier One status by building nationally recognized collections that inspire new knowledge, serving researchers at UTSA and from around the world. Statement of Purpose In support of the UTSA Libraries’ goal of building, preserving, and digitizing distinctive collections of national importance, the Special Collections Librarian seeks to collect, preserve, and provide access to material documenting the history and culture of South Texas and Mexico. Particular attention will be given to material that is deemed exceptional due to its content, publishing history, provenance, age, format, significance, rarity, or vulnerability. Preservation of the collection includes both environmental controls and item-level conservation. Access to research materials is provided through cataloging, online guides, digital facsimiles, onsite assistance, outreach programs, and partnering with faculty to provide instruction for specific subjects or classes. Introduction The Rare Books Unit serves as the repository for published—and occasionally unpublished—codices, maps, and ephemera in the Special Collections Department.
