Acerca de esta escucha

Laredo is a city at the crossroads of North American history. Founded by the Spanish in 1755, it has stood at the intersection of regional commerce since its earliest days. Now, John A. Adams, Jr. provides the first-ever panoramic business and economic history of Laredo. He traces the evolution of the region from its early days as a ranching center into the mid-20th century when Laredo had become what it remains today: a booming port of trade and a principle center of commerce and financial services on the southern border of the United States.

In Commerce and Conflict on the Rio Grande, Adams demonstrates how the increasingly diversified economy of the region fed the fortunes of the city. His narrative, buttressed throughout by tables and statistics, paints a vivid mural of both the economic forces and the farsighted and ambitious individuals that combined to bring prosperity to this unique American city. Readers will find a wealth of insights into regional economics, history, and borderlands themes.

The book is published by Texas A&M University Press.

Viva Laredo

As a Laredoan born in 1995, this book blew my mind. The city has grown so much in my lifetime that it’s hard to believe the older parts of town had such a deep history. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone living on the Mexico-Texas border so that everyone can finally see that Laredo is the true, original border town. Now when my day to day life takes me to what is now widely referred to as “Downtown” in 2022, the true Streets of Laredo, it all looks a lot more beautiful to me.
