Episode 13: The Legacy of Don Esteban Cisneros and Doña Eulalia Tijerina de Cisneros
Dive into the history of South Texas with the story of Don Esteban Cisneros and Doña Eulalia Tijerina de Cisneros, a powerful couple whose legacy stretches from Victoria down to the Rio Grande Valley. Host David Flores and Homero Vera of El Mesteño Magazine explore Esteban’s life as a pioneer and leading stockman from one of the original 41 families in the Martín De León colony.
Discover how Eulalia, an heir to a massive land grant, established the resilient Rancho La Atravesada. Learn about their battles against Anglo vigilantes and Eulalia’s landmark legal victory against Mifflin Kenedy after he fenced in her property. Finally, hear the modern story of how their great-grandson, Dr. Carlos Canales, had their remains moved to the Premont Cemetery to honor their fierce Mesteño spirit.
