Do these names mean anything beyond functioning as labels for the places we live, the routes we drive, or our destinations? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis favorite handbook identifies the origins of nearly a thousand familiar place names in San Antonio and beyond. Naming sleuth David Green reveals the cave in Cave Lane, the \"First Lady of Song\" behind Rosita's Bridge, and the middle school bearing the name of the first African American to walk in space. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapters are categorized by streets, parks, schools, libraries, military bases, and suburbs. Origins of Spanish names are included, as are the origins of a few names less officially designated--H-E-B, the Pearl, the San Antonio Spurs, and more. Who--or what--are the city's landmarks named for? A leader or a noted citizen? A vanished family, a favorite pet, or simply someone who happened to be around when a name was needed? This is a book you'll be referring to again and again for answers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid P. Green\u003c\/b\u003e is a surgeon and educator who has written and edited several textbooks on orthopedic and hand surgery. When he was on the faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in the 1970s, his address was on Floyd Curl Drive. No one seemed to know who Floyd Curl was. Curiosity over the naming of this street led to a widening search for the stories behind the names of San Antonio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43778389573695,"sku":"9781595346742","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/samiestore.shop\/products\/place-names-of-san-antonio-plus-bexar-and-surrounding-counties-paperback","provider":"Samie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
