This historical site encompasses a chain of five frontier Catholic missions, built by Franciscan missionaries along a 12.4 kilometer (7.7-mile) stretch of the San Antonio River in southern Texas in the early part of the 18th century. These missions tell a story of the Spanish colonial period in North America, and the efforts of the Spanish Crown to convert natives to Catholicism and protect and sustain New Spain’s northern frontier. The five missions are: San Jose, Espada, San Juan, Concepcion, and The Alamo/San Antonio de Valero.

Political unrest and ethnic pride cover the walls of the Estrada Courts housing complex in Boyle Heights. Murals representing the social unrest of the time are depicted on the eighty plus murals in this community. A random housing complex is not necessarily the place you'd think of finding murals, but these murals carry a much grander meaning. The history they carry is part of the beauty within the art itself. Constructed during the 1940’s during WWII, because of the housing shortage of the new industrial spike, the Bracero program really initiated the artistic move from these murals. Coming in from Mexico, hispanics and Chicanos were of the minority at the time. They were not seen as equal rather as just temporary workers during the war to later be sent back.

The state led the nation in cattle and calves, beef cows, calves, cattle on feed, total value of cattle and calves, and cash receipts—1993 sales. Texas also has been number one in number of farms and ranches and total farm and ranch land. The Texas ranching industry has changed drastically from its early beginnings. The day of the longhorn and the sprawling King Ranch have been replaced by the rise of commercial feedlots, sophisticated slaughter and meat-packing industries, spreading use of computers, and an intensive search for export markets. On many ranches hunting leases have replaced cattle raising. King, Kenedy, and O'Connor would perhaps think it outlandish, as well as entrepreneurially interesting, that on some ranches, ostriches and zebras are now more plentiful than

Texans lived in a one party state for nearly a century. In Texas the only party that was in control was the Democratic Party from the post-Civil war era to the late 1970’s. In Texas politics for approximately over 100 years the Republican Party was basically non-existent. In a one party state Republicans were the second party. Republicans controlled a few seats in the legislature and they failed to win any statewide races. Mid-western abolitionists that opposed the Kansas-Nebraska Bill created today’s Republican Party.

In the early years, one group in
