"The actual "San Antonio Road" as you mentioned were a series of routes that were totally dependent on the time of year they could be traveled. Weather conditions played in importantly. Remember the Spanish exploration and on into the 19th century was during a 500 year phenomenon known as as "The Little Ice Age", which many believe ended in the 1850's. Below San Antonio de Bejar, there have been identified three specific routes."

As you say it was an area to travel through-- got this way when it is wet, that way when it is dry- another way in spring. Where is the most reliable water etc etc.
St Denis is one interesting dude.
