Unlike Mexico, however, Texas eventually received the stamp of Anglo-American culture, so that Spanish contributions to present-day Texas tend to be obscured or even unknown.  Spanish Texas, 1519–1821  undercores the significance of the Spanish period in Texas history. Beginning with an overview of the land and its inhabitants before the arrival of Europeans, it covers major people and events from early exploration to the end of the colonial era.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis new edition of  Spanish Texas  has been extensively revised and expanded to include a wealth of new discoveries. The opening chapter on Texas Indians reveals their high degree of independence from European influence. Other chapters incorporate new information on La Salle's Garcitas Creek colony and French influences in Texas, the destruction of the San Sabá mission and the Spanish punitive expedition to the Red River in the late 1750s, and eighteenth-century Bourbon reforms in the Americas.\u003cbr\u003e\nDrawing on new and original research, the authors shed new light on the experience of women in Spanish Texas across ethnic, racial, and class distinctions, including new revelations about their legal rights on the Texas frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67938578792484,"sku":"YSL44893","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/81KRvPCTSoL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793286470","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b003qhymnu","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
