Historic Photos of San Antonio

Author: Frank S. Faulkner Jr. · Year: 2007

This volume emphasizes big, legible prints suitable for browsing rather than deep captioning: river, missions, downtown towers, military presence, and neighborhood scenes across decades. Use it alongside more narrative local histories when you need a visual anchor for what a street or skyline looked like at a given period.

Relevance to H&H

Correction (2026-07-22): the 2026-07-21 note misidentified the source — the Internet Archive item at that URL is a promotional video clip from Turner Publishing (mediatype: movies), not a scanned copy of the book; a proper search of IA’s book collection for this title returns zero results. Resolved via a different source: Google Books has digitized this title with full-text search (id 0oruEAAAQBAJ). A search inside for “Hoffmann” and “Hayman” returns no results for either — the book does not name the company.

[Curator note: how this resource relates to H&H research — does it mention H&H/Hoffmann/Hayman/San Antonio? What period does it cover? Which KB pages cite it?]
