It Happened in San Antonio

This is a great book! It's a quick and fun history of San Antonio, told in stories of only a few pages. The stories are perfectly told, as if Bennett were sharing them with friends. Some of the stories are well known and "traditional" - of course you have to include the Alamo - but others are almost like secrets that Bennett shares with readers. The stories told in "A Garden from stone" and "Art must go on" are along the lines of "A People's History (Zinn)." Definitely recommend it for someone who wants to learn and then maybe retell some good stories about San Antonio.
