Places
Left Unfinished at the Time of Creation
by John Phillip Santos
Mexican American journalist John Phillip Santos's lyrical and loving
memoir explores his family's history in magnificent prose touched with
the singing cadences of his Spanish-language heritage yet vibrant with
the energy of American English. It's a combination utterly suited to his
native San Antonio, where las viejitas--the little old ladies of the Garcia
and Santos families--ruled over their children and grandchildren with the
toughness and grandeur of the Mexico they left during the revolution of
1914. "Poised between those ancient Indio origins from the south ... and
our Mestizo future in the north," these new Texans made Mexico live for
their descendants in the magical stories and folkloric practices of an
older culture. Yet there was also a sense of secrets kept and cherished
possessions left behind, of people who had traveled far and traveled light.
The "wind of story" was also "a wind of forgetting," and as Santos probes
his heritage, he comes to understand that "it is okay to move on and forget."
Nonetheless, this is a book that restores to memory the drama not just
of a single family but of an entire people whose past is more closely entwined
with that of the United States than some Americans care to remember. Santos
depicts them with care and dignity. --Wendy Smith - Amazon.com

Revolution
in Texas: How a Forgotten Rebellion and Its Bloody Suppression Turned Mexicans
into Americans
by Benjamin Heber Johnson
Book Description: In Revolution in Texas Benjamin Johnson tells the
little-known story of one of the most intense and protracted episodes of
racial violence in United States history. In 1915, against the backdrop
of the Mexican Revolution, the uprising that would become known as the
Plan de San Diego began with a series of raids by ethnic Mexicans on ranches
and railroads. Local violence quickly erupted into a regional rebellion.
In response, vigilante groups and the Texas Rangers staged an even bloodier
counterinsurgency, culminating in forcible relocations and mass executions.
Faced with the overwhelming forces arrayed against it, the uprising eventually
collapsed. But, as Johnson demonstrates, the rebellion resonated for decades
in American history. Convinced of the futility of using force to protect
themselves against racial discrimination and economic oppression, many
Mexican Americans elected to seek protection as American citizens with
equal access to rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution.

The Texas 36th Division: A History
by Bruce L. Brager
Book Description: The 36th Division was formed in 1917, just after the
United States entered World War I. The division's documented ancestors
in the Texas National Guard, the Texas Volunteer Guard, and the Texas militia
trace back to the 1870s. The tradition in which the 36th played so great
a part even predates the 1836 defense of the Alamo.
This history explores the division's origins and also goes "over there"
with the 36th for combat in World War I, chronicles the division in state
National Guard service between the world wars, and witnesses its federalization
in 1940, followed by combat training in 1940-1942 and combat action in
Italy and France during the Second World War.
