This collection of nearly one hundred photographs from the estate of amateur photographer William Hoffman captures the cosmopolitan town of San Diego at a vibrant moment in its history between 1898 to 1909. Grouped into the categories women at home, homes about town, men at work, children at school and church, families and friends, and entertainment, the photos offer an immediate visual understanding of the cultural and economic life of the community, enhanced by captions that identify the subjects and circumstances of the photos. An introductory historical chapter constitutes the first published history of Duval County, which was one of the most important areas of South Texas in the early twentieth century.
