アラモ伝道所は、18世紀にスペイン帝国が建設したインディアンをキリスト教に改宗させる教育のための施設で、19世紀には軍事要塞として使用され、メキシコの一部だった「テハス」(現在のテキサス州)がメキシコ合衆国からの分離独立を目指したテキサス独立戦争(1835-1836年)で、テキサス共和国軍とメキシコ軍の間の重要な戦闘の一つの1836年の「アラモの戦い」などの軍事行動の舞台となった。
《🇺🇸🇯🇵 歴史：ご存知でしたか？😮》地理学者の志賀重昂氏は、長篠の戦いとアメリカ #テキサス 州のアラモ砦の戦いを比較し詩を詠み、その詩を刻んだ記念碑を1914年にアラモに寄贈しました。#日米関係 #長篠の戦い #歴史 https://t.co/0E9Vlg633i

In May 1718, the Franciscan order established Mision de San Antonio de Valero (more commonly known as the Alamo) and its accompanying presidio along the San Antonio River as the first mission in the San Antonio mission system.

Less than two years later, in January 1720, Franciscans founded Mision de San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo located approximately five miles south of Mision de San Antonio de Valero. (Photograph from @lucki27 personal collection) pic.twitter.com/50s8X2knsK

In 1731, the Franciscans founded three missions: Mision de la Purísima Concepcion, Mision de San Juan Capistrano, and Mision de San Francisco de la Espada.

Located roughly 8 miles (as the crow flies) downriver from Mision de San Antonio de Valero, Mision de San Juan Capistrano's economy thrived on cotton and cattle.(Photograph from @lucki27 personal collection). pic.twitter.com/gthFr2mPMY

A mile south of San Juan Capistrano, Mision de San Francisco de la Espada posed problems bc there wasn't enough stone to build a church. Priests ordered Coahuiltecan builders to construct housing for mission laborers rather than a church. (Photo @lucki27) pic.twitter.com/alJQ1OjnKO

In the mid 18th c., the San Antonio missions owned at least sixteen thousand head of European animals. The animals stayed within this 13 mile area, consuming the tall grasses and disturbing the river’s ecology.

Cattle drained the area’s resources, changing the Plains’ ecology and altering the landscape. With such a drastic change in the ecology of the Southern Plains, it is unsurprising that bison needed to alter their migration to find necessary, life-sustaining resources.

In the 1750s, as bisons' migration shifted northward, Lipans suffered massive populations losses. In the 1760s, the Lipan economy underwent drastic changes as they regrouped and began to herd cattle, creating a borderland cattle economy.

Hunting and dressing bison often left Lipan families vulnerable to attacks; cattle provided a safe alternative to hunting bison.

Lipans formed friendly relationships with the Franciscans priests and neophytes at the San Antonio missions. Although Lipans did not live in the missions, they remained in close vicinity, raiding cattle.
