San Antonio es la cuna de la libertad del estado de Texas, pero también de México. Y en este punto vale la pena detenerse para hacer una primera afirmación: la historia de Texas no se puede entender sin la de México y viceversa. Comparten pasado, pero también espíritu. Esta ha sido la casa que con amistad y respeto ha alojado a los más insignes mexicanos de los que se tenga memoria, en estas páginas se evoca a Francisco I. Madero, iniciador de la Revolución mexicana y padre del México moderno, para quien Estados Unidos y la ciudad de San Antonio fueron algo más que familiar.
