"The timing for writing this book could not have been better. Discovering your family history has become more popular than ever. Every day thousands of people across the globe submit samples of their saliva to DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) testing companies, hoping to learn more about their ancestry. Upon receiving the results, many of them share and react to their findings on YouTube and other social media platforms, where they motivate others to do the same. I suppose learning our genetic identity is the next best thing to deciphering the meaning of life, which has not happened. Thanks to companies like Ancestry, 23andMe, Family Tree DNA, and MyHeritage, this process is now available to everyone for a modest price. The fact that thousands of people have subscribed shows just how trendy searching for our roots has become in the last decade." --from the prefaceTracing My Mother's Roots in San Ygnacio, Texas is a window into the lives of a group of South Texas pioneers. By peering in, readers will meet those who settled the San Ygnacio Ranch--a product of Hacienda Dolores and Revilla (later renamed Guerrero). They will learn about these South Texas residents' origins, life on the lower Rio Grande, and descendants. The 1850 U. S. Federal Population Census (Texas), which supplements this book, offers us a glimpse into the lives of a Guerrero landholding family and its workers in the former San Ygnacio subdivision. It is the most official record we have of San Ygnacio's second beginning. San Ygnacio's protagonist, Jesús Treviño, had since passed away, but the census includes the names of those who were by his side from the start. The list is an opportunity to meet and pay tribute to those who made the San Ygnacio Ranch during the 1800s. Their life stories should be appreciated and seen as examples of hard work and perseverance.

Her ancestors included some of the founding families of Revilla...Revilla's residents came mainly from Nuevo León and Coahuila. Once in Revilla, many of them made Tamaulipas and Texas their home.

Tracing My Roots in Guanajuato, Len, and Silaos Haciendas and Ranchos (17341945) outlines the steps the author took to research his fathers ancestors in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. One step involved him becoming a proficient reader of microfilm to study old church records from the comforts of a history center in McAllen, near his home in Laredo. Another took him to his fathers birthplace for the first time in 1992. The book also presents what the author yielded from his extensive research. At the center are two far-reaching genealogiesone of his grandfather Andrs Gonzlez, another of his grandmother Tomasa Daz. In his journey through their lineages, he met a parade of ancestors who lived their lives during different eras and locations in Guanajuato (mainly El Bajo). On occasion, these forefathers came face to face with historical figures, including Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.

Based on letters and documents in the Bexar Archives, Tragic Cavalier offers a historical account of the Mexican independence movement in Texas interpreted from the Spanish perspective.

In 1939, a team of short, scrappy kids from a vocational school established specifically for Mexican Americans became the high school basketball champions of San Antonio, Texas. Their win, and the ensuing riot it caused, took place against a backdrop of shifting and conflicted attitudes toward Mexican Americans and American nationalism in the WWII era. “Only when the Mexicans went from perennial runners-up to champs,” García writes, “did the emotions boil over.” The first sports book to look at Mexican American basketball specifically, When Mexicans Could Play Ball is also a revealing study of racism and cultural identity formation in Texas. Using personal interviews, newspaper articles, and game statistics to create a compelling narrative, as well as drawing on his experience as a sports writer, García takes us into the world of San Antonio’s Sidney Lanier High School basketball team, the Voks, which became a two-time state championship team under head coach William Carson “Nemo” Herrera. An alumnus of the school himself, García investigates the school administrators’ project to Americanize the students, Herrera’s skillful coaching, and the team’s rise to victory despite discrimination and violence from other teams and the world outside of the school. Ultimately, García argues, through their participation and success in basketball at Lanier, the Voks players not only learned how to be American but also taught their white counterparts to question long-held assumptions about Mexican Americans.

Life And Adventures Of Joaquin Murieta written by John Rollin Ridge and has been published by University of Oklahoma Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-02-14 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
In 1854, a Cherokee Indian called Yellow Bird (better known as John Rollin Ridge) launched in this book the myth of Joaquin Murieta, based on the California criminal career of a 19th century Mexican bandit. Today this folk hero has been written into state histories, sensationalized in books, poems, and articles throughout America, Spain, France, Chile, and Mexico, and made into a motion picture. The Ridge account is here reproduced from the only known copy of the first edition, owned by Thomas W. Streeter, of Morristown, New Jersey. According to it, the passionate, wronged Murieta organized an outlaw company numbering over 2,000 men, who for two years terrorized gold-rush Californians by kidnapping, bank robberies, cattle thefts, and murders. So bloodthirsty as to be considered five men, Joaquin was aided by several hardy subordinates, including the sadistic cutthroat, "Three-Fingered Jack." Finally, the state legislature authorized organization of the Mounted Rangers to capture the outlaws. The drama is fittingly climaxed by the ensuing chase, "good, gory" battle, and the shocking fate of the badmen.
