Description: San Juan Bautista: Gateway to Spanish Texas by Robert S Weddle. University of Texas Press, Austin, 1968. Hardcover. First edition. DJ. In their efforts to assert dominion over vast reaches of the Southwest in the seventeenth century, the Spanish built a series of far-flung missions and presidios at strategic locations. One of the most important of these was San Juan Bautista del Ro Grande, located at the present-day site of Guerrero in Coahuila, Mexico. Despite its significance as the main entry point into Spanish Texas during the colonial period, San Juan Bautista was generally forgotten until the publication of this book. Weddle’s narrative is a fascinating chronicle of the many religious, military, colonial, and commercial expeditions that passed through San Juan and a valuable addition to knowledge of the Spanish borderlands. 469 pages with a section of b/w photographs and maps. Very Good in Good, Mylar covered DJ
