The Alamo and its four sister missions have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Amidst reverence for its storied past, San Antonio has always had its eye on the horizon, constantly reinventing neighborhoods and districts to incorporate the most recent influx of visionaries, scientists, teachers, and creatives.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 4to. Published by University of North Texas Press, Denton, TX. 2002. 120 pgs. Illustrated. Publications of the Texas Folklore Society LIX. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine . Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. El Charro, or man on horseback, has represented the spirit of independent Mexico since he played an important role in the 1821 revolution. He is the Mexican version of the American cowboy, only much older, arising from the ranch culture first brought to Mexico by the Spanish. The charreada is his rodeo, his opportunity to show off both his skills with rope and horse and his decorative, elegant costume. It is at the center of Mexican heritage and self-image, a source of mythology and genuine heroes that has been brought to Texas by immigrants. And since 1989, it has included women, charras, who participate in elaborate and difficult riding formations. San Antonio photographer Al Rendon has taken this ideal subject for the camera and created a collection of splendid sepia photographs reproduced in duotone. The photos juxtapose the grit of the arena with the poise and polish of the charros, charras, and their horses. The essays, by Julia Hambric, Bryan Woolley, and F. E. Abernethy, describe the history of the charreada and its roots in Mexican culture. Hambric's essay also details the costumes and events prescribed by tradition and the Federacion Nacional de Charro. Together, this is a unique examination of an important part of Mexico's heritage.; Publications Of The Texas Folklore Society; 9 X 0.5 X 9 inches; 120 pages.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 119 pages. Oversized 9 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches. Glossy boards binding. No dust jacket, as issued. A new, factory shrinkwrapped copy with no wear or damage. Colorful, inspiring document of the creation, activities, mission, and architecture, of this San Diego institution. Color photos throughout. A well designed and well printed document, I assume not formally published, presumably a book given to staff, donors, potential donors, city officials and such. A fine reference for those planning similar museums, for students and fans of museum design, for those involved who want a fresh copy, or for niche historians of San Diego.
