Review of The Spanish Missiond of San Antonio
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This guidebook gives a great, detailed history of the missions of San Antonio as well as providing large historical photographs. The layout is excellent; however, the size of the guidebook is not practical for carrying on a tour of the missions, but does serve well as a coffee table book and as a valuable source of information.
