Book excerpt: Mexican-born artisan Dionicio RodrÃguez created imaginative outdoor sculptures of reinforced concrete that imitated the natural forms and textures of trees and rocks. He worked in eight different states from 1924 through the early 1950s but spent much of his early career in San Antonio, where sites such as the bus stop on Broadway and the faux bois bridge in Brackenridge Park have become landmarks.
