Memoirs of Mrs Maverick a Window into Early San Antonio
Excerpts from the Frontier Times recount Mrs Annie E Brown's loan of San Antonio de Bexar and the Memories of Mrs M A Maverick. The narrative follows Samuel A Maverick and family moving from Alabama to Texas in 1837 38, surviving a brutal 14 mile swamp crossing and a tense encounter with Tonkawa warriors. It then details their San Antonio home on Main and Soledad Streets built in 1839, garden and riverfront yards, neighbors the De la Zerdas and later Dona Juana Vareinez, and notes the birth of Lewis Antonio Maverick in that house.
