About the Video
Shot by the Raymond Winter family in 1948, this home movie showcases the value of amateur motion picture footage in documenting the Texas experience. The Winter collection has a number of films featuring the Battle of the Flowers parade throughout the 1940s and 1950s which detail the changing cityscape and the ever evolving commemoration of the Alamo
Begun in 1891 to honor the fallen heroes of the Alamo and commemorate the victory at the Battle of San Jacinto, the Battle of Flowers Parade continues today as a part of San Antonio’s annual Fiesta celebration in April. Flower-covered floats feature costumed participants from the San Antonio community and are joined by marching bands, horse-drawn carriages, and antique cars.
