Join David Flores and expert Homero Vera as they travel to San Ygnacio, Texas, one of the "crown jewels" of the border towns, to uncover a history rooted in stone and stars.

• Featured Story: The episode details the 1830 founding of San Ygnacio by Don Jesús Treviño of Revilla, and the construction of the stone Fort Treviño by his son-in-law, Don Blas María Uribe. The heart of the story is the fort's famous sundial, built in 1851 by José Villarreal as a monument to La Estrella del Norte—the North Star. Villarreal used the North Star to guide himself and his cousin home after they were kidnapped by Indians near Revilla around 1820, traveling north first to confuse their captors before turning south.
• Dicho Segment: Ines C. Treviño shares the proverb, "El carbon que ha sido brasa, con un soplido vuelve a arder". This means that if someone is hot-headed or hot-tempered, just a small push or a little talk will be enough to get them riled up.
• Recipe Segment: This week's featured dish is JALAPENO CORNBREAD WITH MEAT, a one-dish meal that combines a cornmeal batter with bacon grease, cream style corn, grated yellow cheese, ground meat, chopped onion, and jalapeños.
• Book Recommendation: We recommend Tlalcoyote (published January 22, 2001) by Ernesto Uribe. The novel is a spell-binding story of survival and adaptation to violent cultural change, set in Texas and Louisiana in the early 1820s. It follows young Rogelio Ramirez through life as a captive in a Comanche camp, through slave voodoo rites on a Louisiana plantation, and into 19th-century New Orleans.
