Description
Built in San Antonio in 1755, the Mission Concepción had been
founded almost forty years earlier in the Texas-Louisiana
border region as one of six Spanish missions that served as
a barrier against French expansion from the east. Dominican,
Jesuit, and Franciscan missionaries looking for spiritual treas-
ure in the form of converts to Christianity had followed the
gold-seeking Spanish, who were using large numbers of
native allies to explore and lay claim to an increasing area of
the Americas.
