Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Antonio Conservation Society Citation, 2009 In the early part of the eighteenth century, the Spanish colonial mission Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga was relocated from far south Texas to a site along the Guadalupe River in Mission Valley, Victoria County. This mission, along with a handful of others in south Texas, was established by the Spaniards in an effort to Christianize and civilize the local Native American tribes in the hopes that they would become loyal Spanish citizens who would protect this new frontier from foreign incursions. With written historical records scarce for Espíritu Santo, Tamra Walter relies heavily on material culture recovered at this site through a series of recent archaeological investigations to present a compelling portrait of the Franciscan mission system. By examining findings from the entire mission site, including the compound, irrigation system, quarry, and kiln, she focuses on questions that are rarely, if ever, answered through historical records alone: What was daily life at the mission like? What effect did the mission routine have on the traditional lifeways of the mission Indians? How were both the Indians and the colonizers changed by their frontier experiences, and what does this say about the missionization process? Walter goes beyond simple descriptions of artifacts and mission architecture to address the role these elements played in the lives of the mission residents, demonstrating how archaeology is able to address issues that are not typically addressed by historians. In doing so, she presents an accurate portrait of life in South Texas at this time. This study of Mission Espíritu Santo will serve as a model for research at similar early colonial sites in Texas and elsewhere.

Book excerpt: The first European explorer to skirt the coast of the northern Gulf of Mexico gave the name "Espíritu Santo" to the continent's greatest river whose fresh water discharge he observed on the Catholic Feast Day of the Holy Spirit in 1519. A century and a half later, both Spain and France recognized the strategic importance of a settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi, but had only a vague idea of its location along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico known then as "La Florida." Cabeza de Vaca lived here as a slave of the local Indians in the 1530's. Events in the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries associated with the lands and waters called Espíritu Santo shaped the history of North America. France moved first to establish a permanent presence in the area with an ill-fated expedition headed by La Salle in 1684 that only lasted four years before being destroyed by disease and Karankawa Indians. Spain responded quickly after learning of the French settlement, locating the abandoned site in 1689. A Spanish presidio and mission were established in 1722 near Lavaca Bay which moved inland four years later to the Guadalupe River north of Victoria, where it remained until 1749. The charter of the "La Bahía" mission and presidio complex was to monitor the coastal area and defend it against foreign encroachment while converting the Karankawa, Aranama and other local Indian tribes to Christianity. Victoria, Calhoun and adjacent counties along the central Texas coast constitute an area in which the earliest chapters of Texas history were experienced and recorded. Events in this region during the mid-sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century had a profound influence on the evolution of Texas, Mexico and the United States. "La Bahía del Espíritu Santo" was the name applied by the Spanish in the mid-1500's to this region - the name remains today in two places: the reconstructed La Bahía mission and presidio in Goliad, and in Espíritu Santo Bay on the coast.
