"This well researched book...could be appealing...to many
audiences."--Cristina Rios, Review of Texas Books--
(06/23/2010)
"Spanish Water, Anglo Water overflows with insight into the story
of water and water rights in the Alamo City. While thoroughly
researched, Porter's book is readable history as well. And though
the focus is on San Antonio, it is a natural starting point for an
overall understanding of water matters in Texas because Texas water
law has been much influenced by Spanish law."--Mike Cox, Texana
writer for the Austin American Statesman-- (07/11/2010)
"In his slim and well-illustrated history Spanish Water, Anglo
Water: Early Development in San Antonio, Charles R. Porter Jr.
tells the story of early San Antonio, Texas through the element of
water. . . This readable and well-illustrated work is a good
introduction to San Antonio's water situation and will attract the
interested lay reader. . . The work is also a useful addition to
the literature on Hispanic water development and the subsequent
overlay of English legal ideas in the American
Southwest."--;/div>--Margaret A. Bickers "H-Net Reviews "
