About this listen

From ancient riverbanks to modern skylines, A Brief History of San Antonio traces the soul of one of America’s most storied cities. Author Derek Monaghan guides listeners through ten immersive chapters that blend historical depth with cinematic storytelling—revealing how Indigenous roots, Spanish missions, revolution, and resilience shaped San Antonio’s unique identity.

Explore the founding of the Alamo, the rise of Tejano culture, the impact of war and migration, and the city’s transformation into a global crossroads. From the Chili Queens to HemisFair ’68, from military might to cultural renaissance, this sweeping narrative honors the people, places, and moments that define San Antonio.

Whether you're a history lover, educator, traveler, or proud San Antonian, this book offers a vivid journey through centuries of change—where memory meets modernity, and the river still flows.
