BEAUTIFUL COPY. ¶ This vast and comprehensive work covers the region of the State of Texas, South and West of the Guadalupe River, with particular emphasis on the Borderlands, with biographical accounts of local leaders and early settlers to the region. Includes, but is certainly not limited to, accounts of the establishment of missions, Spanish occupation, Austin's colony, LaSalle's colony, the Alamo and Goliad, San Jacinto, the Republic of Texas, Annexation and the new State of Texas, the Civil war era, the cattle industry, the railroads, and much more. ¶ Provenance: From the library of Rudolph L. Biesele, author if the still-indispensable "History of the German Settlements in Texas" (1930) and numerous scholarly articles on the early development of the State of Texas. ¶ Rare such attractive condition, as here. ¶ Suitable for exhibition and study.
