Most Texans and many Americans have heard of the Alamo and the main figures associated with the heroic battle that took place there. But how many Americans and even Texans know that it was in San Antonio that Robert E. Lee made the fateful decision that would change his life and the course of American history? Or that John F. Kennedy's last official act as president was made at Brooks Air Force Base? And how about the fact that the majestic figures of four of our greatest presidents carved on Mount Rushmore first were models created in a little studio near Brackenridge Park? These and other fascinating but relatively unknown facets of local history are explored in It Happened in San Antonio.… (mere)

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
An interesting approach to tell stories from the history of a city. In this case, the Alamo is the most famous landmark in San Antonio, but plays only a very minor party in only a couple of the stories. These are the "local color" or "did you know" stories that typically show up in local newspapers and magazines. Each story stands alone and the sequence in the book isn't obvious. Interesting tidbits with a few photographs sprinkled throughout. ( )

This fascinating collection of historical stories tells of how many events and divers larger-than-life figures such as Geronimo, Eisenhower, and the Hilton Twins intersect with the town of San Antonio. The book is not a history of San Antonio, or even a history of Texas; it is more like a love letter to a city in the form of vignettes. ( )

Very interesting book, full of lots of little known facts about events that occurred in my home state, and a city that I love and enjoy visiting my family in. It can be a little dry at times so the book is best taken in small doses, but I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn a little more about a famous city, outside of it being home to the Alamo.

This is a fascinating book, full of interesting facts and written in an easy to read writing style. It is informative as well as entertaining and you meet some pretty colourful characters along the way. A most enjoyable read! ( )
