José Maria Escobar (born ca. 1751) was adopted by José Miguel Antonio Ramírez, and was brought to live in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico when he was nine years old. Maria Antonia Gertrudis Chapa was the daughter of Maria Rita López de Jaen, who was the second wife of Escobar's adoptive father. In 1770, Escobar married Maria Antonia Gertrudis Chapa. He inherited a portion of land called Porción 76 from Ramírez, and later purchased the remainder of Porción 76 from his mother in law and step-mother, Maria Rita López de Jaen. The property was in Mier, which later became part of Starr County, Texas. Escobar ancestors came from Spain to Mexico, some being soldiers with Cortez at Vera Cruz in 1519. Members of the Escobar family lived in Texas and northern Mexico, along the Rio Grande River. They settled mainly at Escobares, Los Sáenz, La Rosita, Roma (Roma-Los Sáenz), and Rio Grande City. Others moved to California, New York, Ohio, Washington D.C., and elsewhere.

In this extraordinary new book, Andrew Konove traces the history of illicit commerce in Mexico City from the seventeenth century to the twentieth, showing how it became central to the economic and political life of the city. The story centers on the untold history of the Baratillo, the city’s infamous thieves’ market. Originating in the colonial-era Plaza Mayor, the Baratillo moved to the neighborhood of Tepito in the early twentieth century, where it grew into one of the world’s largest emporiums for black-market goods. Konove uncovers the far-reaching ties between vendors in the Baratillo and political and mercantile elites in Mexico City, revealing the surprising clout of vendors who trafficked in the shadow economy and the diverse individuals who benefited from their trade.
The Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge lies on the northern bank of the Rio Grande in South Texas, about seventy miles upriver from the Gulf of Mexico. In Border Sanctuary, M.J. Morgan uncovers how 2,000 acres of rare subtropical riparian forest came to be preserved in a region otherwise dramatically altered by human habitation. The story she tells begins and ends with the efforts of the Rio Grande Valley Nature Club to protect one of the last remaining stopovers for birds migrating north from Central and South America. In between, she reconstructs a two hundred-year human and environmental history of the original “two square leagues” of the Santa Ana land grant and of the Mexican and Tejano families who lived on, worked, and ultimately helped preserve this forest on the river’s edge. As border issues continue to present serious challenges for Texas and the nation, it is especially important to be reminded of the deep connection between the region’s human and natural history from the long perspective Morgan provides here.
