This Huge Live Oak is near the 13th Tee of the Pecan Valley Golf Course in San Antonio but in earlier times it was midway between the Old Goliad Road and the Gonzales Road which were two of the most traveled roads in Early Texas. It is believed that Stephen F. Austin and his force of 600 men camped here in his campaign to drive out Mexican Troops. The name Burnt Oak probably resulted from the many campfires that burned beneath its branches.
