OUR SPANISH HERITAGE IN TEXAS

Resumen

SEVERAL YEARS AGO I received a letter from Dr. Julian E. Choate, Professor of English at David Lipscomb College, Nashville, Tennessee, asking for assistance in compiling a bibliography showing the influence of Spain on Anglo-American folk culture. He said that he was primarily interested in works of history, articles and literature that were contemporary with the frontier process in the Southwest, adding, however, that he had a limited reading knowledge of the Spanish language, and therefore he preferred to use works in English. In conclusion he stated that he had recently completed a tour of Portugal, Spain, and North Africa as part of his research, and his future plans called for him to spend a month in Mexico a trip that would carry him as far as Mexico City.
