Description
Presidio San Marcos de Neve was founded in the early nineteenth century four miles below present-day San Marcos, where the Old San Antonio Road crossed the San Marcos River. A flood in June of 1808 nearly wiped out the community. The colony held on for several years, but harassment by Comanche and Tonkawa Indians forced settlers to abandon it in 1812. Archeologists recently have discovered ruins, which are probably of the presidio and community. The location of these ruins is still being kept a secret.
For those of you who have had the experience of a cruise ship and going en mass by bus to a tourist location you know the experience. For those of you that do not, well, you have your guide, maybe with a flag on a pole so everyone in the group knows where the guide is and they can not get separated from the group.
