Also shown is the evolution of streetcars, fire engines, buses and trucks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHorseless carriages came to the Alamo City in 1899, though they took a little practice. Following a series of mishaps, in 1910 the city council set speed limits at 8 miles an hour within a mile of San Fernando Cathedral and 15 miles an hour beyond. Also told of are the struggles to drive to places like Kerrville and Corpus Christi and soon to the rest of the nation, first on a rugged highway known as the Old Spanish Trail that became the general route of Interstate 10.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Maverick Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595346803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Hugh Hemphill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661141569692,"sku":"9781595346803","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5d4a22fe-342d-4fe7-85d5-06ac744cb644.jpg?v=1603898743","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/san-antonio-on-wheels-the-alamo-city-learns-to-drive-9781595346803","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
