Can't wait for you to really get into the 18th century portion of Texas History!!!!!!! You'll freak out! I suggest you start with the Bexar Archive Translations. I think North Texas State University (Denton) has finally got them available online......
You will also enjoy any of the works of Herbert Eugene Bolton. The real Father of early Texas History. Bolton was the chap who helped with the placement of all those big granite "El Camino Real" markers (like on SH 21) on the route from Bexar to Natchitoches La. He rode the route in 1914 on horseback.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
