Welcome To The State Of Texas

Explored by the Spanish in the 16th and 17th centuries, Texas became a province of Mexico. In 1836 Texans declared independence from Mexico as the Republic of Texas (Stephen Austin; Sam Houston). After a 10-year struggle to remain independent, Texas became the 28th U.S. state in 1845. Its boundary with Mexico was confirmed after the Mexican-American War (1848).

In the American Civil War Texas seceded from the Union (1861); it was readmitted in 1870. After the war, railroad building and increased shipping helped expand the economy, and the discovery of oil in 1901 transformed it. While Texas still leads all other states in oil and natural gas production and in petroleum-refining capacity, its manufacture of electronics, aerospace components, and other high-technology items is increasingly important. It is also a leading cotton, cattle, and sheep producer in the U.S.

Today Texas is the second largest state in both area and population. Since the 1960s three sons (or adopted sons) of Texas have been president of the United States: Lyndon Johnson, George Herbert Walker Bush, and George Walker Bush.

San Antonio Mission Walk San Jose

The missions of San Antonio are a main factor in the history of Texas and the core of the development of the city of San Antonio.

The legacy and history of San Antonio and this region began with a simple ceremony when in 1718 Franciscans and Spanish representatives established the first mission. Within 13 years, five were located along the San Antonio River. The missions’ purpose? To acculturate and Christianize the native population and make them Spanish citizens.

Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo was the largest and the most known in the 1720s and was know as "The Queen of the Missions." Founded by Fray Antonio Margil de Jsu’s, it was know as the model of Texas missions. Mission San José served as an economic enterprise involved in agricultural and ranching endeavors and regional trade, and a vocational and educational center.

Saint Michael The Archangel

In 1720, Fray Antonio Margil de Jesús founded what became the best known of the Texas Missions, San José y San Miguel de Aguayo. The unique architecture of its church and the richness of its fields and pastures led visitors to comment on its beauty.

The present church of Mission San Jose in San Antonio, Texas, was begun in 1758. It was not completed until 1782 but became "the most beautiful church along the entire frontier of New Spain. Mission San José underwent a $2.2 million historically accurate renovation that was completed in the summer of 2011. Interior domes and walls were repainted to match the original colors and hues. Work also included restoration of the "retablo," or altar backdrop, which frames sacred statues of St. Michael the Archangel, for whom the mission is named, St. Francis, the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. The latter two statues are hand-carved and date to the Spanish colonial era. The St. Joseph statue was originally in the possession of Father Antonio Margil de Jesús, the mission’s founder, and had not been used in the church for decades.

The size of the Mission complex bears witness to San José’s reputation as the "Queen of the Missions."

Mission San Jose In San Antonio

Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo is a historic Catholic mission in San Antonio, Texas, USA. It was founded on February 23, 1720 to serve the Coahuiltecan Indians.

The church, which is still standing, was constructed in 1768 from local limestone. It is still in operation. The Mission rounds are expansive. They provide a peaceful walk and give you a sense of the community that they must have had back then. The old mill in the back is still functioning, and where the arches are today is what is left of the old convent. Even though the Alamo in the middle of downtown San Antonio has the glamor of a legendary story with legendary figures in history, you can sense the history in a place like Mission San José much more than at the Alamo.

The mission lands were given to its Indians in 1794, and mission activities officially ended in 1824. After that, the buildings were home to soldiers, the homeless, and bandits. In the 1930s Mission San Jose was restored and is now part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. This gorgeous and historical "Queen of the Missions" is a great place to begin or end the San Antonio Missions Trail!

The Alamo Cenotaph - San Antonio, TX

From the Greek words kenos, (empty) and taphos, (tomb) - cenotaphs are tombs or monuments erected to honor a person or persons whose remains are elsewhere or their whereabouts unknown. Quite frequently cenotaphs are erected for soldiers killed in distant places or sailors lost at sea. This one in San Antonio's Alamo Plaza is sometimes referred to as "The" Cenotaph.

The Alamo Cenotaph in San Antonio, TX is a beautiful memorial to the men who died defending the ancient Alamo mission in 1836 against the army of Santa Anna rather than surrender to overwhelming odds. The sculpture stands adjacent to the old mission and is one of the largest works of famed Italian-born sculptor Pompeo Coppini from a design envisioned by architect Carlton Adams. The memorial stone of gray Georgia marble rests upon a slab base of pink Texas granite. The theme of the monument is 'The Spirit of Sacrifice'. On the north side appears a feminine figure symbolizing the state of Texas, holding the shields of Texas and the United States.

Begun in 1937, San Antonio's Alamo Cenotaph took two years to complete and is itself now a historical treasure.

Tower Life Building San Antonio, TX

The unique 30-story Tower Life Building in San Antonio, Texas was completed in 1929 and originally called the Smith Young Tower. It is known for its historical background and its beautiful late Gothic Revival architecture, and was given the name that it has now in 1962, when it became the home of the Tower Life Insurance Company.

Built as the great depression was beginning, it is said the architect included Medieval gargoyles to protect the building from evil spirits and bad luck. It was one of the tallest buildings west of the Mississippi and the tallest building in San Antonio for almost 60 years until the completion of the Weston Centre in 1989. The Tower Life Building is believed to be the only octagonal office building in the United States. In 1991 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Its green roof and unique lighting make the Tower Life Building one of the most easily recognized landmarks in the city.

Contrabando Movie Set

One particular part of Big Bend Ranch State Park in Texas might look familiar, even if you've never been here before. Hollywood has come to the northern bank of the Rio Grande several times, using the colorful landscape as the perfect backdrop for a tiny Wild West town.

The Contrabando Movie Set is what remains, from the production of movies like Streets of Laredo, Uphill All The Way, Rio Diablo, Gambler V: Playing For Keeps, Dead Man's Walk and Journeyman. At first glance, you'd swear that this is a real ghost town, but once you walk inside any of the buildings, it's obvious that these are only facades.

This movie set along the river was built in 1931 for the movie "Contrabando", and it's obvious why this location was so appealing to movie producers ever since. The jagged peaks and red rocks make for a beautiful village, even if it is all fake.

St. Anthony Of Padua

St. Anthony of Padua, also known as Anthony of Lisbon, was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He is typically depicted with the Infant Child Jesus, and is commonly referred to as the "finder of lost articles."

When Saint Anthony of Padua found he was preaching the true Gospel of the Catholic Church to heretics who would not listen to him, he went out and preached it to the fishes. This was not, as liberals and naturalists are trying to say, for the instruction of the fishes, but rather for the glory of God, the delight of the angels, and the easing of his own heart.

He died in Padua, Italy, and is also the saint of finding things or lost people.

San Diego - America's Finest City

In San Diego, the sixth largest city in the U.S., the beach is a way of life, a source of pride and joy, a defining influence in people's lives. For San Diegans that live at or near the coastline, the beach is a part of their culture.

For some folks, the fond memory of a summer sunset melting into the Pacific while feeling the sand between their toes is reward enough. Others have a more intimate relationship with the ocean as their lives revolve around it. For these people, fishing, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing, biking, running, beach volleyball, swimming,diving or simply walking along San Diego's many coastal beaches and bays is an integral part of their life.

Sunny winter days are not uncommon and temperatures frequently hit the mid to high 70's. The winter months are great because the summer crowds have subsided and the beaches can be seen in their purest, most natural form.

Spreckles Organ San Diego

It was Mr. Spreckles, who donated the world's largest outdoor pipe organ and the Organ Pavillion, built in Italian Renaissance architectural style in beautiful Balboa Park, to San Diego, California.

Mr. Spreckles, did so with the one requirement: Every Sunday free concerts were to be performed with this unique organ containing over 4,000 pipes housed within an ornate vaulted structure. These free concerts have been going on since 1917. Even if you are not an organ fan, stop by to see and hear this huge outdoor pipe organ. If you are an organ fan you will be in heaven. The free Sunday afternoon concerts are always entertaining and I just love the summer concert series. The venue is also used for twilight concerts in the summer. We are so fortunate to have this gem in the middle of Balboa Park.

Bring a picnic basket, a bottle of wine ... What a great way to enjoy our beautiful San Diego summer nights!

The Old Couple Of Hales Grove

Hales Grove (formerly, Monroe and Monroeville) on California Highway 1 once was a busy spot with a restaurant, motel, some houses and Hank Braun's split products mill.
All the off-highway truck drivers stopped there on their two hour drive one way to and from Fort Bragg, which gave them two trips per eight hours day.

Today Hales Grove is an unincorporated, populated community in Mendocino County, CA. The Monroe post office opened in 1897, and after several moves closed in 1912.

Suspension Bridge Waco, TX

The Waco Suspension Bridge is the centerpiece of downtown Waco's River Walk. The bridge crosses the Brazos River and was opened for traffic in 1869. The twin double-towers that anchor the span were considered to be a marvel of engineering at the time. Without doubt the bridge helped to transform Waco from a small frontier town to a major commercial center.

The 475-foot span made it one of the longest single-span bridges in the world at the time and was wide enough for stagecoaches to pass each other or for cattle to cross one side of the bridge and humans to cross the other side. The bridge collected its first toll Jan. 1, 1870. Tolls were a nickel (5 cents) a cattle head to cross the bridge. Along with a charge for pedestrian traffic the cost of building the bridge, which was estimated to be $141,000 was quickly paid back.

By 1971, the Waco Suspension Bridge had seen more than 100 years of traffic, and the state historical committee decided that it was time for the bridge to be retired. The was closed to vehicular traffic in 1971. Today the bridge is open to foot traffic only and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Bull Market Quadriptych

Texas Longhorns in Waco TX - Waco is hardly the most famous place around, but, boy, does it reflect the face, the popular image of Texas. Situated between Austin and Dallas, Waco was located on the important Chisholm Trail, the north-south route used to transport cattle from ranches in Texas to railheads in Kansas.

The Waco Suspension Bridge is the centerpiece of Waco's downtown. The old bridge features the 'Branding the Brazos Cattle Drive Sculpture' - bronze sculptures commemorating the crossing where cowpunchers paid a toll of five cents per head of longhorn cattle to cross the Brazos River. The statues are a part of the Waco Chisholm Trail Heritage sculpture project, a work in progress, as more sculptures are coming, paying homage to Waco’s role along the historic cattle-drive trail, where many herds of Texas Longhorns from deep south Texas made their Brazos River crossing over this bridge.

Waco and the Heart of Texas have deep ties to Texas history. Little Waco, 22nd in population with only 125,000 souls within its city limits, is the perfect destination to get the feel of this legendary place called Texas.
