Dr.
Felix D. Almaraz, Jr. should be used to being a feature story by now. Although
an author of his own two books Knight
Without Honor and Tragic Cavalier,
Dr. Almaraz was the focus of Arnoldo De Leon’s book Tejano
Epic
which features essays in his honor. Now, Dr. Almaraz, the Peter T. Flawn
Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Borderlands and Texas History at UTSA is
currently serving as the narrator, consultant, and re-enactor in the PBS film “Texas Before the Alamo.” In the
documentary, Dr. Almaraz portrays three pioneer Franciscan missionaries from
different eras.
