42003 Moses Austin Autograph Endorsement Signed Moses Austin. One page, 8 x 5.25, Mine au Burton [Louisiana Territory], October 24, 1806. Austin writes three lines at the bottom of a promissory note by Mr. Whittlesey to pay seventy dollars by May of 1809. Austins text reads in full: On condition Mr. Whittlesey should not be capable to pay the above I will on the condition pay the sum of Seventy Dollars. In 1796, Moses Austin (1761-1821) settled at the small Missouri community of Mine au Burton (modern-day Potosi, Missouri), the first settlement in Washington County and then part of Upper Spanish Louisiana. The community was established near lead deposits, which Austin mined and shipped from the nearby Mississippi River port town of Ste. Genevieve. His Missouri lead business venture was not successful, and he ran into trouble after 1812 for not paying his debts, so he traveled to Texas in 1820 in search of other opportunities. After receiving a grant to bring 300 colonists to Texas, he returned to Missouri to make preparations for his new Texas colony. Just two months after arriving back in Missouri, however, he died, but not before requesting his son Stephen to carry out his plan to begin a colony in Texas. A portion of the right corner is detached, but does not affect the text. Toned along the edges. Austins signature is bold with a beautiful paraph. Very good. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500 Starting Bid: $500
42004 [Moses Austin]. Message from the President of the United States to both Houses of Congress. 8th November 1804. Read, and ordered to be referred to the Committee of the whole House on the State of the Union. Washington City: Printed by William Duane & Son, 1804. 12mo, 22 pages. Bound in plain wrappers. Containing the extract of a letter from Don Pedro Cevallos to Charles Pinckney, with translation, and a letter to Secretary of State James Madison from the Marquis of Casa Yrujo, with translation, assuring the president of Spains lack of opposition to the impending Louisiana Purchase. Also included is A Summary Description of the Lead Mines in Upper Louisiana: Also, an Estimate of their Produce for Three Years submitted by Moses Austin informing President Thomas Jefferson of the number, extent and situation of the Lead Mines in Upper Louisiana, with an estimate of the average quality of mineral produced, and the number of hands employed at each mine; with the probable quantity which may be annually produced, when the country becomes populated so as to afford workmen sufficient to occupy the mines to advantage for ten mines: Mine Burton, Mine Robuna, Old Mines, Mine Ranault, Mine Maneto, Mine la Plate, Mine Joe, Mine Lanye, Mine la Mott, and Mine Gerbore. Each mine is given specific treatment concerning its geographical location, the quantity and quality of mineral raised, a short history of each, and, in some cases, the amount of manpower needed to work the mine. Austin states that no country yet known furnishes greater indications of an inexhaustible quantity of lead mineral, and so easily obtained. He concludes by providing an estimate for the production of the several mines and adds: This calculation, perhaps, by some, may be deemed incredible, but the riches and extent of the mines justify the calculation. This is believed to be the only printed item containing original material by Moses Austin. Having already established himself as a pioneer in lead industry while working in Virginia, where he simultaneously immersed himself in debt, Austin set his sights on the rumored lead deposits in what was then Spanish Upper Louisiana (modern-day Missouri). Acquiring a grant to Mine Burton, he quickly gained control of all smelting in the area. Initially successful, he ran into trouble after 1812 for not paying his debts, so he traveled to Texas in 1820 in search of other opportunities. After receiving a grant to bring 300 colonists to Texas, he returned to Missouri to make preparations for his new Texas colony. Just two months after arriving back in Missouri, however, he died, but not before requesting his son Stephen to carry out his plan to begin a colony in Texas. The booklet contains ink notations throughout the first portion titled Presidents Message, November 8th, 1804. This copy once belonged to Congressman Samuel W. Dana of Connecticut who has placed his signature on the title page. Moderate to heavy foxing throughout. Evenly toned. An overall fine copy. TSHA member donation. All proceeds, including Buyers Premium, will go to support TSHA. Reference: American Imprints, 7551. Graff 4405. Howes A401 (under Austin). Sabin 2419 (under Austin). Estimate: $2,000-$4,000 Starting Bid: $1,000

Verso, Cowpunchers, No. 2, G27, soft-ground etching, 7.25 x 11 (sight). The works are similar in composition and scale; they depict three heavily shadowed cowboys on horseback riding into the sun.

The American artist Edward Borein (1872-1945) is known as an authentic early cowboy artist. In the late 19th century, Borein lived in Mexico as a ranch hand, learning Spanish and sketching his surroundings. In 1900, he began work as an illustrator and on assignments he was able to venture across the Southwest,

Pease, he writes in full: I have not seen the laws providing for a State Engineer and assistant; but understand that the assistant is to be appointed by the Executive. I therefore make this my first application to the government of Texas for a personal favor. My son, William E. Burnet, a native Texian, graduated at the State Military Institute of Kentucky something more than a year ago. His studies were specially directed to the science of applied engineering and he has a corresponding diploma. Our mutual friend, Dr Ashbel Smith will probably write to you on this subject and I will defer any further allusion to my sons qualifications. Should you conceive it proper to confer the appointment of assistant Engineer upon him, you will render an important favor to one who has but small means of reciprocation. He will however know how to appreciate it. David G. Burnet (1788-1870) served as the first (ad interim) President of the Republic of Texas from March through October of 1836, the second vice-president under Mirabeau B. Lamar, and first Secretary of State of Texas from 1846 through 1848, but in 1856, after failed bids at acquiring positions as a United States district judge and Galveston customs collector, he was making a meager living as a subsistence farmer. His only surviving son, William, joined the United States Army, a position he would later resign, to join the Confederate States Army. He was killed at Spanish Fort, Alabama, in 1865. Signature is bold and bright. Toning along the right margin; some chipping along the edge. Ink bleeding on the verso. Estimate: $1,500-$2,500 Starting Bid: $750

The ink is heavily faded making parts illegible, but both signatures remain bold and bright. During the Mexican War (1846-1848), the Texas Rangers were enlisted to assist the regular armed forces of the United States. Volunteer regiments were forming all over the state to aid the U. S. army leading to the formation of the Texas Volunteers. Wanting to serve his state in more than just a political role, Governor Henderson, himself a former brigadier general in the Texas Army, with special permission from the state legislature, was given a command over the Second Texas Regiment of Texas Volunteers. The Second Texas saw action at the Battle of Monterrey and Henderson was tasked with helping in the negotiations for surrender of the city. Toward the end of the war he was given a major general rank of Texas volunteers. After the war, he served out the remainder of his term as governor. David G. Burnet (1788-1870) served as the first (ad interim) President of the Republic of Texas from March through October of 1836, the second vice-president under Mirabeau B. Lamar, and first Secretary of State of Texas from 1846 through 1848. Estimate: $700-$1,000 Starting Bid: $350
42019 David G. Burnet Republic of Texas Land Grant Signed David G. Burnet as president and Thomas W. Ward as commissioner of the General Land Office. One page, partially printed on vellum, 14.75 x 12.5, Austin, January 20, 1841, granting to James Dunn his heirs or assigns Forever Twelve Hundred and Eighty acres of Land...In Milam County, on the waters of Davidsons Creek... and ...all the right and title, in and to said Land, heretofore held and possessed by the government of said Republic [of Texas]. Blind stamped seal of the Republic of Texas and blind embossed seal of the General Land Office. Folds, else fine. At the time of issue, Burnet was acting President of the Republic (for the second time), President Mirabeau Lamar having been ill and seeking medical treatment. As his first official act, he tried to convince Congress to declare war on Mexico, but was thwarted by supporters of his old nemesis, Sam Houston. His second term put him more at odds with the citizens of Texas and during the presidential election of 1841, he was defeated by Houston. Thomas William Peg Leg Ward had fought at the siege of Bexar in December 1835. During the battle, at the head of an artillery company, Capt. Ward lost his leg to a cannonball and was later fitted with a peg leg. He served as commissioner of the General Land Office of Texas from 1841-1848. Estimate: $800-$1,200 Starting Bid: $400

42024 George Catlin. Westward Bound A Hundred Years Ago. El Paso: Carl Hertzog, 1939. First edition, limited to 115 hand-numbered and signed copies of which this is number 80. Signed by illustrator Tom Lea on the limitation page. 4to, 10 pages printed on the recto side only. With sketches by Tom Lea throughout text. Quarter-bound gray paper over yellow printed boards; clear dust jacket. Dust jacket has repair work on back, but otherwise a beautiful copy in fine condition. While reading Catlins Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians, artist Tom Lea stumbled upon a page where Catlins thick-spread prose was a song to me - the song of that old travelers heart, and the West a cry of freedom. Every paragraph asked its own page and every page its picture. At the time of original issue only 57 copies were bound. Due to slow sales it was only in 1944, five years after the original publication, that the remaining books were bound, including this beautiful volume, one of only six bound in cloth.

Dallas: Johnston Printing and Advertising Company, 1914. First edition. Large 8vo. 327 pp. Frontispiece. 55 illustrations. Rebound to style in black textured cloth, with original leather title label with gilt lettering mounted to front board. Gilt lettering to spine. Some mild rubbing to extremities. Mild to moderate foxing to three blank fly-leaves, to half-title, and to fore-edge. A tight and bright copy in near fine condition. From the foreword: The private libraries of Texans and the public libraries of the Southwest will be enriched by the addition of a volume dedicated to the lives and deeds and work of the cattlemen of Texas, the men who have been identified with the industry in all its vicissitudes of fortune and whose names are household words in the city and hamlet as well as in the country range. The first 61 pages give a history and overview of Texas ranching, followed by 58 biographic sketches of cattlemen. This book was sold in a very limited run to subscribers. Adams calls it exceedingly rare. And William Reese, in Six-Score, considers this the rarest, most important, and least known book on the range cattle industry. No author is known. My personal belief is that Russell Evan Ward, whose sketch appears last in the book, may have had something to do with its compiling. He concludes that it should be one of the most prized books of any collector fortunate enough to own one. TSHA member donation. All proceeds, including Buyers Premium, will go to support TSHA.

42027 [General Thomas Jefferson Chambers]. Documents Connected with the Late Controversy between Gen. T. J. Chambers of Texas, and Messrs. Wilson & Postlethwaite of Kentucky. Louisville: Prentice & Weissinger, Printers, 1836. 8vo, 27 pages. Plain blue wraps. Modern quarter-bound slipcase in red cloth with red, gilt lettered spine and red tri-fold protective case in red cloth over boards. During the Texas Revolution, agents from Texas roamed the United States pleading for military aid. Thomas J. Chambers was one such agent. Having first been against the rebellion, but now in full support of it, he requested a major generals commission and in exchange he traveled to Kentucky where he would engage emigrants and raise the means to equip and supply the army by pledging the faith of our republic. Colonel Edward J. Wilson and Captain G. L. Postlethwaite were among those that answered the call. Receiving a chilly reception by President Burnet and his Cabinet, they returned to Kentucky with 80 of their men, and wrote a disparaging letter about the people of Texas, and General Chambers in particular, which ignited a war of words in a Louisville newspaper. Chambers then retaliated with a letter in defense not only of himself, but of Texas. Wilson, he says, appeared to be animated by the same noble and chivalric feelings as his companions, but who, it would seem by his subsequent conduct, was actuated by motives purely selfish, and is capable of cherishing feelings of the deepest revenge for the slightest disappointment of his avarice or vanity. He goes on to present testimonies of the situation by other volunteers from Kentucky which refutes the stance of Wilson and Postlethwaite. Chambers, still in Louisville, remained to await the arrival of Wilson and Postlethwaite and was advised of the probability of a street attack...made upon him to which he made arrangements to call them out and fight them on the same day...if challenged. With the possibility of an impending duel, the remainder of the publication consists of letters between the friends of both parties negotiating an honorable way for the men to avoid bloodshed. A fascinating read. Light shelfwear to slipcase. Light to moderate scattered foxing; toned margins. Else fine. Reference: Sabin 95079. Estimate: $2,500-$3,500 Starting Bid: $1,250

42028 Thomas Jefferson Chambers. To the People of Texas. Twelve pages, 5.25 x 8, printed and bound in booklet form, Austin, February 20, 1863, introducing himself as a candidate for the office of Governor of Texas for the upcoming gubernatorial election later that year. Chambers feels it necessary to lay before the citizenry of Texas the events of the past two years in which he sought an appointment to the Confederate army and left the Confederate capital with some feelings of exasperation against the President and his cabinet on account of his failure to have our coast properly defended, to provide our Texas troops with Texian commanders, and...to treat with due respect the recommendation and request of our State. Chambers presents as evidence letters from Texas Governor Frank R. Lubbock, the Texas Senate, and the Texas House of Representatives, dating 1861 to 1862, requesting an appointment in the Confederate army in his name. Lubbock pleads his case best when he describes Chambers as one of the earliest settlers of Texas, and held the rank of Major General and second in command in the Texas revolution, and he received two votes of thanks for the Congress of the Republic, for the distinguished services he rendered in that position. He goes on to explain his volunteer service as an aide to General Hood and his plea to the Confederate government to defend the coast of Texas. At the end he outlines his plans for the future of Texas if he is elected and concludes by appealing to the sense of patriotism felt by her citizens: Be of good cheer, my fellow-countrymen, for our cause is just and holy, and it will triumph. God, in his inscrutable wisdom and justice...has permitted our vandal foes to occupy for a season, and to devastate some of the fairest portions of our beloved South...in order to harden our hearts against, and to separate us forever from , a barbarian people, fanatical, intolerant, deaf to the voice of conscience, meddlesome, corrupt, conceited, perfidious, incapable of maintaining and administering a free Government, and wholly unworthy of our association; and He will, in his own good time, accord to us the final victory, and our independence. Chambers lost the election to Pendleton Murrah. Remnant of binding along the left edge; the majority of pages detached. Heavy toning. Damage to first page and ink notations. Corner dog-eared on page 12. From the papers of B.A. Shepherd. Estimate: $700-$1,000 Starting Bid: $350

to Texas two weeks prior to resume command of his regiment and Heintzelman is giving an account of activities leading up to, and including his involvement in, the so-called First Cortina War. Heintzelman begins by giving a description of Juan Nepomuceno Cortina, the leader of the banditti who have for the last five months been in arms on the Lower Rio Grande, murdering, robbing, and burning. He describes Cortina as: ...a ranchero, at one time claiming to be an American, and at another a Mexican. At the same time General [Zachary] Taylor arrived...he was a soldier in General Aristas army. He has been for years noted as a lawless, desperate man. He describes the first incident of hostilities: on the 13th of July last he was in Brownsville with some of his ranchero friends, when a man who was formerly a servant of his was arrested by the city marshal for abusing a coffeehouse keeper. Cortinas attempted to rescue the man; he fired twice on the marshall [sic], the second shot wounding him in the shoulder, and rescued the prisoner. He mounted his horse, took the prisoner up behind him, and with his friends around him rode off defying the authorities to arrest him. He escaped to Matamoros, and there was treated with consideration and lauded s the defender of Mexican rights. On September 28, 1859, Cortina and forty to eighty men entered the town of Brownsville. The citizens were awakened by firing and cries of Viva cheno Cortinas!...Viva Mexico! The city was already in his possession...He avowed his determination to kill the Americans, but assured the Mexicans and foreigners that they should not be molested. Thus was a city of two thousand to three thousand inhabitants occupied by a band of armed bandits. Two days later, after evacuating Brownsville, Cortina issues a proclamation, in which he bid defiance to law, and assumed to protect those whom he alleged had been injured on account of their Mexican origin. Heintzelman describes the events up to his arrival on December 5 with a detachment of the United States army. Trying to get assess the situation, he writes: The morning after our arrival I endeavored to get information as to the number, position, and objects of Cortinas; everyone appeared to be as ignorant of these matters as I was. A combined force of Texas Rangers under John S. Ford and U. S. Cavalry finally defeat Cortina at the battle of Rio Grande City. Of the victory, Heintzelman says: The defeat was complete. We captured his guns, ammunition and baggage carts, provisions, everything he could throw away to lighten his flight, and entirely dispersed his force. One year later, with the eruption of the Civil War, Heintzelman would be promoted to brigadier general of volunteers and brevetted the same rank in the regular army in 1862. He commanded at First and Second Manassas. Robert E. Lee remained in Texas until the secession of the southern states forced his recall to Washington to take command of the Union army. He politely declined and followed his home state of Virginia into the Confederate States. Heavy damage along the margins of the first and last page with moderate toning of page edges throughout; text is unaffected and is bright.

Illustrations. Cloth over board, gray color with stamped spine. Marbled endpapers. Some soiling to the edges and occasionally throughout the book. A few small tears to pages toward the end of the book and have been repaired with cellotape. Otherwise, pages in good condition with corners crisp. Signed and dated by original owner, January 1, 1896. The first 293 pages concern the history of the cattle industry, but the bulk of the book, nearly 400 double-columned pages, is devoted to biographical sketches of 449 cattlemen. There is also a short section concerning the importance of the railroads on the cattle industry. One of the big four cattle books. An important book on the history of the cattle industry, and no collectors library would be complete without it. It is rarely found with the frontispiece, and since it is an unusually heavy book and the leather has deteriorated with age, its back strip is usually missing or in bad condition. It is said that the scarcity of this book is due to the fact that nearly all the editions were lost in a warehouse fire (Adams, Herd).

Rare signature of David Crockett signed days before the end of his first term as a congressman
42039 David Crockett Promissory Note Signed David Crockett. One page, 7.75 x 2, Washington, February 24, 1829. Folk hero David Crockett was representing western Tennessee as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives when he signed this promissory note to payee Bob McHatton for the sum of $700. The note reads in full: On the 26th of December next, I promise to pay to the order of Bob McHatton, seven hundred dollars for value received, payable at the office of D[?] & Deposits. Only days before his first term as a congressman adjourned, Crockett was suffering from nostalgia and was anxious to get away from Washington and back to his home in Tennessee. But he first had to pay off several debts, which is likely the reason for this loan. Money was always hard to come by for the frontiersman - he put himself in a financial bind in 1828 when he bought 250 additional acres in western Tennessee. He also
needed funds for his upcoming reelection campaign, which promised to be a difficult one for him since his only real success during his first term had been to secure a U.S. postal route through his home district. The frontiersman won reelection, but in his final bid for the U.S. House five years later, he lost. Days after that defeat, Crockett met one last time with his Tennessee constituents and delivered a short speech. I put the ingredients in the cup pretty strong, he wrote in his autobiography. I concluded my speech by telling them that I was done with politics for the present, and that they might all go to hell, and I would go to Texas. Then he and his rifle Betsey left to give the Texians a helping hand. He was killed doing just that at the Battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. (David Crockett, A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett, of the State of Tennessee [Philadelphia: E. L. Carey and A. Hart, 1834],31, 33.) This document is boldly signed. Framed to an overall size of 17.75 x 21.75. Estimate: $25,000-$35,000 Starting Bid: $12,500
Although we are assured on the title page that this book was indeed Written by [Crockett] Himself, we are also informed that The Narrative [was] Brought Down From the Death Of Col. Crockett To the Battle Of San Jacinto, by an Eye-Witness. In fact, the book was written by one Richard Penn Smith, the son of a prominent Philadelphia lawyer, who reached his widest literary audience and left his most lasting mark on the American literary tradition through his anonymous authorship of Col. Crocketts Exploits, a book that gave his countrymen a new, sanitized Crockett as a figure worthy of emulation. Although a clumsy fabrication produced with pecuniary profit and political gain as its only goals, Smiths work was the early forerunner of one of Americas unique art forms - the popular western. Dr. Alexander Dienst was a dentist, author, and historian who amassed a collection of books and primary sources dealing with Texas history, primarily the Texas Revolution and the Texas Navy. From 1932 to 1935 served as president of the Texas State Historical Association and authored the book The Navy of the Republic of Texas, 1835-1845. Estimate: $500-$700 Starting Bid: $250

Abram Morris Gentry (18211883) was a legislator and one of the earliest railroad promoters in Texas. He was one of four delegates elected to the Constitutional Union Partys national convention in Baltimore, and as a Union Democrat had been an active participant at the San Jacinto assembly. The Texas Constitution was a conservative document designed partly to allay public fear of the more radical of the secessionists, and partly to ease the transition of Texas into the Confederacy. It was as remarkable for what it did not do as for what it did. It did not substantially change any important law, it did not take an extreme position on the issue of states rights, nor did it legalize the resumption of the African slave trade, a move advocated by some leaders of the secession movement. Following ratification of secession from the Union on February 23, 1861, the Secession Convention reconvened. Delegates were dedicated to overseeing the transition of Texas as it left union with the United States and joined the Confederate States of America. In this effort, they relied heavily on the United States Constitution, making a few distinct changes to the text to suit the circumstances. Slavery and states rights were more directly defended. A clause providing for emancipation of slaves was eliminated, and the freeing of slaves was declared illegal. All current state officials were required to take an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy, and all existing laws not in conflict with the constitutions of Texas or the Confederate States were declared valid.

42049 Empresario Green DeWitt Signed Document Granting Land to George W. Davis in Gonzales. Two pages (front and back) on Coahuila Y Tejas seal paper, 8.25 x 12.25, Gonzales, December 24, 1833. The document states that George W. Davis is entitled to two lots of land, in accordance
with article 30 of the colonization law of March 24, 1825. Davis signs on the first page, directly beneath the statement. The document also includes a signed statement by James Blair Patrick attesting that Davis is entitled to the two lots of land at no cost. Green DeWitt and Stephen Smith sign as witnesses to Patricks statement. With dampstaining and fading throughout, deep folds, and minor chipping not affecting the text along the right margin. Green DeWitt was awarded an empresario grant in 1825 to settle 400 families adjacent to Stephen F. Austins colony. Although many families settled in the colony, DeWitt was unable to fulfill his contract which expired on April 15, 1831. He never held an elected position, but did represent Gonzales county at the Convention of 1833. George Washington Davis also attended the Convention of 1833 as a delegate. He served as the secretary of the safety committee for Gonzales, and participated in the first battle of the Texas Revolution, the Battle of Gonzales. Estimate: $500-$700 Starting Bid: $250

Arrington...that parcel of land situated in the Town of Gonzales. Dickinsons signature is found at the very bottom of the verso on the right certifying that the above is a true copy of the original. Right edge is unevenly torn and the left and top edges are chipped. Heavily dampstained throughout leading to fading of the majority of text, which remains entirely legible. Weakened folds. Prior to moving to Texas, Almeron Dickinson (sometimes spelled Almaron) was a blacksmith and an artilleryman in the U.S. Army. In 1831, he and his wife Susanna moved to Gonzales, Texas, as colonists in DeWitts Colony. Three months before signing this document, Dickinson fought in the first battle of the Texas Revolution at Gonzales. At that battle, the artilleryman was entrusted with the Gonzales cannon (the subject of the famous white flag bearing the taunt, Come and Take It stitched beneath the likenesses of a single star and cannon). On the morning of October 2, Dickinson, following orders, fired the small cannon at the Mexican force led by Francisco de Castaneda. That shot is traditionally known as the first shot of the Texas Revolution. Later at the Siege of Bexar, which lasted from October through early December 1835, Dickinson served as lieutenant of artillery. Then at the Alamo, accompanied by his wife and baby, Angelina, he was again in command of the Texian artillery. Early on March 6, 1836, he said goodbye to his family before being killed along with 189 other men when General Santa Annas troops stormed the Texas mission. His wife and daughter, whom Santa Anna offered to adopt, survived and were released. Estimate: $1,800-$2,500 Starting Bid: $900

Stapled together in booklet form with heavily damaged printed paper covers. Front and rear wraps detached. Contents toned and brittle. Also, a typed transmittal letter signed by Roy M. Farrar to Walter W. Fondren, dated December 22, 1925, reading: I am sending you a copy of what I understand to be a true story of a Texas soldier who escaped the Massacre at Goliad, March 27th, 1836. You may have seen this old booklet before, but if you have not, I am sure you will enjoy the story. John Duval served variously and valiantly in the Texas Army achieving merit for his actions under the leadership of James W. Fannin, for his escape from the Goliad massacre, and for his service with John C. (Jack) Hays company of Texas Rangers. An inveterate dreamer and explorer, reader and writer, Duval is often referred to as the first Texas man of letters. Originally published serially in Burkes Weekly in 1867, Early Times in Texas did not appear in book form (and then only as a pamphlet) until 1892. The story of Duvals remarkable escape from the Goliad Massacre and his other adventures became a Texas classic. Of all personal adventures of old-time Texans, it is perhaps the best written and the most interesting (Dobie). References: Basic Texas Books 51. Raines, p. 74. Howes D603. Graff 1188.

furor upon its publication and was described as being a slander upon the people of Texas, for a variety of reasons, not least of which was its rather incendiary anti-Texan/pro-Mexican stance. An accusation hurled by Stephen F. Austin against a man he thought was the author of this book even precipitated the challenge of a duel by the wrongly-accused man to defend his honor. The duel was avoided, but soon after the publication of his book, Edward and his family removed to Ohio. This contemporary history by Edward, notwithstanding some idiosyncrasies of the author, is one of the essential Texas books. It gives a good account of the physical features and towns and products of the Texas of 1835, followed (p. 142-176) by an excellent analysis of the colonization laws of the republic and state. Pages 177 to the end are devoted for the most part to the political events from 1832 to about October, 1835, with copious extracts from the New Orleans newspapers of December, 1835, on the illfated Tampico expedition of Mexia. Edwards performs a useful service in giving lengthy verbatim extracts from many of the important documents of the period (Streeter). One of the best accounts of Texas on the eve of the Revolution (Jenkins). References: Basic Texas Books 53. Graff 1208. Howes E48. Rader 1279. Raines, p. 74. Sabin 21886. Streeter 1199.

42056 [James Fannin]. Presentation Cane from the Grave of Colonel Fannin. Gold-plated, ball-handled presentation cane. Ball-handle is decorated with floral scrolls and bears the inscription: Wm. L. Hunter/to/E. R. Lane/I cut this stick/from the grave/of/Col. Fannin. Metal tip. Overall length 34. Following the Battle of Coleto on March 20, 1836, Colonel Fannin surrendered his command to Mexican General Jos de Urrea and he and his men were subsequently marched to Goliad and imprisoned in the Nuestra Seora de Loreto Presidio. The men, under the assumption that they had surrendered honorably as prisoners of war and would be paroled and returned to the United States, had in actuality been surrendered by Fannin as prisoners of the Supreme Mexican Government. Urrea wrote General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna informing him of the surrender and requesting clemency for the prisoners. Santa Anna, in no mood to placate the rebels in Texas by showing mercy to their fellow soldiers and operating well within the laws of Mexico, ordered the immediate execution of all prisoners, including eighty men of the Georgia Battalion who had surrendered after the Battle of Refugio and been added to the prison population on March 25. Three hundred and forty-two men were executed on Palm Sunday, March 27, 1836. Fannin, after witnessing the deaths of his men, was the last to be dispatched. He asked for three things: that his belongings are sent home to his family, that he be shot in the heart, not in the face, and that he be given a Christian burial. Seated in a chair due to a wound to the leg suffered at Coleto, he was blindfolded, shot in the face, and along with his men, had his body burned and left to the elements. The Mexicans took his belongings. William Lockhart Hunter (1809-1886) was born in Tinkling Springs, Virginia. He came to Texas in 1835 as a member of the New Orleans Greys under the command of Capt. Robert C. Morris. He served under Col. James Fannin and was present at the siege of Bexar and the Battle of Coleto, after which he was imprisoned at Nuestra Seora de Loreto Presidio in Goliad. He, along with the rest of Fannins men, was marched out of the presidio on March 27, 1836 and shot in what is now infamously known as the Goliad Massacre. Two versions of the incident exist, but Hunter was shot and survived, being nursed at a nearby farmhouse. He went on to serve as a judge in Refugio County and in the Republic of Texas House. In 1845 he was a representative of Goliad at the Annexation Convention. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000 Starting Bid: $8,000

Though Rafael published an edition in Mexico in 1848 and 1849, the Cumplido edition provides the best coverage of the Battle of the Alamo and the 1836 campaign, and the two editions complement one another. The Cumplido edition repeats some material from the previous Rafael edition, but is basically an entire new work, relating primarily to the period from March, 1836, through July, 1837 (Basic Texas Books). Largely made up of army orders issued during the period.... One of the most important sources on Texas from the 1820s through 1837...enriched with scores of original documents and military orders unavailable elsewhere (Streeter 853n) References: Basic Texas Books 62.

Streeter notes that This is a very discursive account of Texas history down to the opening years of the Republic of Texas, but, with judicious skipping, a rather entertaining one. Eugene C. Barker remarked that Ones impatience with Footes betrayal of the historians obligation to tell the truth as he knows it gives way to amusement at the ingenuity of his grandiose distortions. An important contemporary history of the early days in Texas. The first volume includes five chapters on Mexican history, along with chapters on Spanish-American relations, the Burr Conspiracy, and James Long. There are also four chapters, described by Jenkins as among the best in the book, on the Fredonian Rebellion.

42062 [John S. RIP Ford]. Civil War Era Autograph Letter Signed by Four Officers of the Army of the Republic of Mexico to Ford, in Spanish, with contemporary translation. Twelve and one-half pages, 8.25 x 10.25, on blue, lined paper, Brownsville, October 4, 1864. Translated into English by N[estor] Maxan on fourteen, 5.25 x 8 pages, written on the verso only. Written to Ford by four officers in the army of Juan Nepomuceno Cortina, Colonel Julian Cerda, Colonel Servando Canales, Lieutenant Colonel Mario G. Hidalgo, and Major Jose A Puentes, to explain the actions of Cortina against the Confederates and their disapproval of it. As the Civil War raged in 1864, tensions along the Texas-Mexico border were strained. The Union army had abandoned the town of Brownsville that summer and the Cavalry of the West under Confederate Colonel John S. RIP Ford had reoccupied the town. Fords old enemy, Mexican General Juan N. Cortina, was across the river in the town of Matamoros dealing with French occupation troops during the Franco-Mexican war. Cortina was convinced Ford had allied with the French to drive him out of Matamoros. In late August, Cortina organized a junta to argue that the Mexican cause would be best preserved by allying with the United States and the Federal army. The officers write: He stated further that as we were surrounded on all sides by hostile forces [French and Confederate] which would not long delay in attacking us, this step was the only one remaining to us... and also the Commander of the U. S. troops had the greatest willingness, not only to make the said agreement, but also to attack in concert with us the French forces. Cortina had Puente translate into English his idea to the U. S. Consul stating: ...with the force under his command agreed to the most solemn manner to aid in every manner the forces of the U. S. and even to attack Brownsville if necessary. The Consul replied that neither he, nor the U. S. commander, were sufficiently empowered to make this treaty, and that he could only assure that...the Cortina Brigade would be well received. Shortly thereafter, Cortina attacked the French at La Burrita as a ruse to cross the border into Texas where he would join the Federals, and after half-heartedly attacking the French, he opened fire on a Confederate force on this side of the river. Cortinas adjutant confirmed to Canales that Cortinas had opened fire on the Confederate Troops, and that the cavalry had crossed the river & were still fighting the forces of the South. Cols. Canales, Cerda, and Echazarreta agreed that Cortina had just taken a wild & criminal measure, which on no account should be sanctioned by us if we desired to preserved the good name of our State, that it was now impossible to prevent the crossing of the cavalry, because that has already been accomplished, but that it was very easy for us to refuse to cross over however much it might displease Cortina. Canales reports he confronted Cortina telling him his action was not only insane but criminal, that the people of Tamaulipas would not pardon him such an act, and that it was a treacherous deed to set aside his own flag in order to array himself against a people fighting for its independence just as we are.
42061 John S. RIP Ford Signed Promissory Note. One page, 7.75 x 2.75, n. p, July 19, 1838, promising to pay George C. Lucas One hundred & fifty Dollars for the use of his compass three months. Texas Ranger John S. RIP Ford was a journalist and newspaper editor, a physician, an explorer, a congressman, and a valiant soldier who served in the Texan army from 1836 to 1838, commanded operations against Juan N. Cortina for terrorizing Brownsville Texas, helped create the Cavalry of the West to protect Texan interests along the Rio Grande, and commanded Confederate forces during the Civil War, winning the last known engagement of that great conflict at the Battle of Palmito Ranch. Attested by E. W. Cullen, probably Ezekiel Wymberly Cullen, a veteran of the siege of Bexar and later congressman for the Republic of Texas. Staining along the top half

They conclude by stating: ...that in this last expedition which started from Matamoros to attack a French force said to be coming up the river, the Battalion of Colonel Canales was placed in the rear, and neither he, or any of his command ever saw the vessels. Colonel Cerda, who by that time was the senior officer of the Brigade embraces this opportunity to state that the force directly under Cortina, was the only one which fired on the foremost vessel, and this by direct orders of that officer which could not be destroyed even when it was found out that the said vessel carried a flag of truce; and further that whatever was done on this occasion was by the express orders of Genl. Cortina. Text of the original letter is faded, but the signatures of all four officers are bold and bright. Translated text is easily legible with little damage to paper other than the usual folds and some minor staining. Fine. Estimate: $800-$1,200 Starting Bid: $400 42063 [John S. RIP Ford].

Charles Goodnight only received six months of formal education and could barely read or write. It is probable that this letter was dictated by Goodnight to his wife or an associate who wrote it for him. It reads in full: Yours of 11th just received, and will say I am doing every thing in my power to have the quarantine matter adjusted. As I understand the matter, our Gov. is doing all he can for us in the right direction. I think if he can satisfy the department, I mean Morton. the line will be respected when established & there will be but little difficulty in getting the matter settled. all parties interested should be at Ft. Worth as that will be regular meeting of the Association. Shortly after the Civil War, one of the most celebrated cattlemen in Texas history, Charles Goodnight (1836-1929), along with his partner Oliver Loving, set out from Belknap, Texas, and forged a trail west to Fort Sumner, New Mexico, with 2,000 head of cattle establishing the now famous GoodnightLoving Trail. It quickly became the most traveled trail in the southwest, spurring Goodnight to extend it to Granada, Colorado. Due to the influx of disease, most notably Texas fever, which infected cattle in states to the north as they came in contact with cattle from Texas, many states passed quarantine laws barring any cattle from Texas to pass beyond borders. Texas cattle carried the disease, but remained unaffected and in relatively good health. These quarantining laws effectively ended the Texas cattle-trailing industry that flourished in the late nineteenth century. Estimate: $400-$600 Starting Bid: $200

1870. However, when political fortunes in the area turned against the Republicans, like many dispossessed officeholders, he sought a federal appointment. In March 1875 President Grant appointed Parker to his judgeship, based at Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the Western District of Arkansas, an area of some 74,000 square miles, which included the entirety of the Indian Territory. His disgraced predecessor, Judge William Story, had resigned rather than face charges of graft and corruption. Anxious to restore the Courts reputation, Parker went after violent crime aggressively. The number of hangings he ordered was in part simply the result of the large number of cases which came up for trial in his jurisdiction (he often held court six days a week, and up to ten hours daily). Executions in those days were often public events attended by rambunctious crowds, and Parker brought this to a halt by erecting a tall fence which closed off the gallows from public view. Nonetheless, he was known far and wide as the Hanging Judge. Of the book, Adams said: Exceedingly rare. The rare original edition has become a collectors item and is the chief source of practically every book and feature story about the old court and Oklahoma outlaws. It originated from an idea of J. Warren Reed, the criminal lawyer who was such a thorn in Judge Parkers side. Although Reeds name does not appear, he financed its publication. He had Samuel W. Harman, a professional juryman, write it, and it appears under his name. The book was printed in an edition of only 1000 copies, and though large, statistical and dry, the first edition was soon exhausted because of the reputation of Judge Parkers court. From Graff: An important source book, - all the statistical part of the book, the biographical sketches of those connected with the court and the transcriptions from the Court records, were the work of C.P. Stearns and are said to be scrupulously accurate... Reference: Adams, Burs I:171. Adams, Guns 929. Adams, One-Fifty 68. Campbell, pp. 71-72. Anderson 1642:525. Rader 1780.

42079 [Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla] and [Josefa Ortiz de Domnguez]. Two Unsigned Portrait Paintings of Heroes of Mexican War of Independence. One rectangular oil on canvas portrait of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, 19.63 x 25. The second portrait, an oval -shaped oil on canvas painting in profile of Josefa Ortiz, 20 x 24. Both portraits are undated, but most likely late 19th or early 20th Century. In 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla (1753-1811), a priest and intellectual, led a rebellion that is considered an important prelude to the Mexican War of Independence. Known as the Father of the Nation, Hidalgos image has been immortalized by many artists including Diego Rivera, Jos Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Many versions of his likeness have been reproduced through portraits, stamps, currency and popular media. This picture is most likely derived from one of the many widely disseminated portraits of the revolutionary. This half-length portrait is staple-mounted to a wooden stretcher. Some cracking and chipping of the oil paint, especially around the periphery. One very tiny puncture on the sitters collar. The second portrait is of Josefa Ortiz de Domnguez (1768-1829), a recognized heroine of the Mexican War of Independence. In opposition to Spanish authority, Ortiz hosted in her home secret political meetings attended by insurgents such as Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and Ignacio Allende. The portrait of Josefa Ortiz de Domnguez is also an oil on canvas. She is depicted in profile against a solid brown background wearing a brooch and earrings. While the work is mounted to a stretcher, there is some looseness to the canvas in the upper left corner. Some creasing and chipping of paint, especially around the edges.

By Mrs. Mary Austin Holley. With an Appendix, Containing specific answers to certain questions, relative to Colonization in Texas, issued some time since by the London Geographical Society. Also, some notice of the recent political events in that quarter. Baltimore: Armstrong & Plaskitt, 1833. First American edition, having first been published in London the year before. This is the first book written entirely about Texas in English. 12mo, 167 pages. Appendix. With folding map, Map of the State of Coahuila and Texas by W. Hooker (13.25 x 10.75). Map has one archival repair and very light foxing; right edge is slightly chipped. Copper Mine and Whaco a Village circled in pencil. There is, however, no paper loss and the map is in near pristine condition.

This map conforms to Streeters 2nd with Beales and Rayuelles Grant at top left, Hookers name added beneath the title, and Milams Grant labeled Beales Grant. Reddish-brown cloth, with title and decorative device in gilt on front board. Cloth is rubbed and soiled and heavily faded in parts; spine faded with the authors name and title handwritten in black ink. Edges and extremities are worn; corners bumped and frayed.

A signature reading Almonte dated 1834 appears on the front pastedown and is purported to be that of Juan Nepomuceno Almonte, a Mexican general who served as an aide-de-camp on the staff of General Santa Anna throughout his invasion of Texas during the Texas Revolution. Below the signature appears the following: Rare autograph of Almonte/Mexican leader/Texas Revolution/[illegible] his [illegible] given at San Antonio/Alex Dienst. While the above notation by Dienst is heavily damaged by waterstains to the point of being nearly illegible, the autograph of Almonte is bold and bright, despite a portion of it lying in the same dampstaining. Directly opposite, on the front free endpaper, is written: Dr. Alex Dienst/Temple/1915. Several notations in pencil also appear on the rear pastedown endpaper listing the contents of the book, also in the hand of Dienst. Alexander Dienst was a dentist and historian who amassed a large collection of books and primary sources dealing with Texas history, primarily the Texas Revolution and the Texas Navy. From 1932 to 1935 served as president of the Texas State Historical Association and authored the book The Navy of the Republic of Texas, 1835-1845. Texas is an epistolary account of the authors journey to Texas (specifically to Austins Colony) in the fall of 1831. Mrs. Holley was, in fact, a cousin of Stephen F. Austin, and the book is dedicated to him. Holley was enthusiastic about the country and its prospects, and in this series of letters, she describes many aspects of the region, including the landscape as well as the political, economic, and social climate. Holley was so taken with this splendid country that she rhapsodizes about Texas, describing it as an almost idyllic utopia: Ones feelings in Texas are unique and original, and very like a dream or youthful vision realized. Here, as in Eden, man feels alone with the God of nature, and seems, in a peculiar manner, to enjoy the rich bounties of heaven, in common with all created things. [...] [T]he profound stillness; the genial sun and soft air, - all are impressive, and are calculated, both to delight the imagination, and to fill the heart, with religious emotions (Holley, p. 127). She concludes - somewhat vehemently - that a person would do well to settle accounts at home, and begin life anew in Texas. He will find, here, abundant exercise for all his faculties, both of body and mind, a new stimulus to his exertions, and a new current for his affections. He may be obliged to labour hard, but riches are a very certain reward of his exertions (p. 131). Mrs. Holley was certainly one of the most persuasive boosters of emigration to Texas, and many of her readers were no doubt swayed to head to this new Promised Land as soon as they could!

ing the state not to repudiate the obligations. (Eberstadt) Hunt, a former Republic of Texas minister to the United States, was acting as agent and attorney of many claimants against the late Republic. Light to moderate toning with uneven top and bottom edges. Also included is a letter from an unknown author to Ovid J. Johnston Esq., dated September, 1848, from Philadelphia, outlining the sections of an act passed by the Texas legislature regarding the repayment of the debt passed on March 20, 1848, An Act to provide for Ascertaining the Debt of the late Republic of Texas. The author expresses his concern, as a creditor to the republic, in receiving the full refund of the debt owed. When the United States annexed the Republic of Texas, it was estimated that the republic held a $12 million debt, from loans by private citizens in Texas and the United States and in service provided for the defense of Texas. In 1848, the Second State Legislature called for the auditor and comptroller to assess the debt and scale it down to face value. By 1851, the debt was scaled to $6.8 million. Having little to no money in the treasury, Texas was allowed to keep all of her unappropriated lands to be first used as payment toward her debt, at a proposed rate of fifty cents an acre. The creditors refused and with the Compromise of 1850, the federal government gave Texas, in return for giving up its claim to New Mexico and parts of present-day Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, totaling 6.7 million acres, $10 million dollars in U. S. Bonds. All told, the federal government and the State of Texas paid out a total of $9.28 million of the estimated $12 million. Reference: Eberstadt Texas 162:423. Sabin 33883.

42093 Agustin Iturbide Letter Signed as President of the Regency. Six pages, 8.25 x 11.5, Mexico, January 9, 1822. Great content letter addressed to the bishop of the cathedral of N. Reyno de Leon. Iturbide had masterfully created an alliance amongst Mexican liberal insurgents, landed nobility, and the church. Their goal was to establish an independent Mexico, which would be ruled by a monarch. In this letter, Iturbide informs the bishop that the preceding government had left the country in chaos. Iturbide states that the first order of business for the ruling junta was to ensure that the future congress would be able to set up a general system of economic policy. Over the next six pages, he carefully outlines his ideas about policy regarding economics, the church, and the court system. He deftly declares that the church has the most wealth, and can continue to collect their rents; however he is careful to explain that he does not expect the church to make any sacrifices. At the time this letter is written, the newly formed Republic was unstable with multiple factions vying for control. Iturbide would crown himself emperor of Mexico a few months later, but would reign for less than a year. In near fine condition, with only gentle toning. Estimate: $1,500-$2,500 Starting Bid: $750

42097 [Maximilian Affair]. Benito Juarez Autograph Letter Signed. Two page (front and back of a single sheet), 5 x 8, El Paso [del Norte], May 25, 1866. Juarez is writing to his daughter, relating news of American support for the cause of Mexican independence from French rule. In part: I will celebrate that you have returned without incidence from Washington and that you have enjoyed the monuments and environs of that notable capital. The political news that my [two illegible words] are very interesting for our country. There remains no doubt regarding the next stage of our work. He tells her that he will be going to Chihuahua, because no enemy remains in that area. Juarez had been deposed by French forces, which had place Maximilian as Emperor. Juarez turned to the United States for support. Citing the Monroe Doctrine, President Andrew Johnsons administration recognized Juarezs government. Although Congress would not authorize funding for Juarezs army, General Phillip Sheridan wrote in his journal that he misplaced some 30,000 muskets along the Mexican border. With American support and growing threats elsewhere, the French began withdrawing their forces in the later months of 1866. The letter we offer is written at time when the tides were turning in Juarezs favor. Emperor Maximilian would be captured and executed the following year. Estimate: $800-$1,200 Starting Bid: $400 42098 Benito Juarez Military Appointment Signed Benito Juarez as Constitutional President of the United Mexican States. Two pages, 10.25 x 16.5, partially printed on blue paper, in Spanish, Mexico City, July 3, 1862, conferring the rank of Colonel of Cavalry on Mariano Escobedo. Two months before his appointment, on May 5, Escobedo had taken part in the Battle of Puebla where invading French forces, sent by Napoleon III and under the command of Charles de Lorencez, were repelled by a smaller force of Mexicans commanded by Ignacio Zaragoza near the town of Puebla, Mexico. The French returned the next year and eventually captured the town (Second Battle of Puebla) before heading to, and subsequently capturing, Mexico City. President Benito Juarez and his administration fled the city and the Austrian Archduke Maximilian was installed as Emperor of Mexico. The first battle of Puebla, however, had been an inspiration to the Mexican people and on the 16 of September, 1862, President Juarez made the observance of the anniversary of the battle a national holiday. Cinco de Mayo is

42099 George Wilkins Kendall. Narrative of the Texan Santa Fe Expedition, Comprising a Description of A Tour Through Texas, and Across the Great Southwestern Prairies, the Camanche and Caygua HuntingGrounds, with an Account of the Sufferings from Want of Food, Losses from Hostile Indians, and Final Capture of the Texans, and Their March, as Prisoners, to the City of Mexico. With Illustrations and a Map. By Geo. Wilkins Kendall. In Two Volumes. New York: Harper and Brothers, 1844. Two 12mo volumes, xii, 405 pages and frontispiece; xii, 406 pages and frontispiece. Fold out map in volume I (12 x 16.75) engraved by W. Kemble N. York, Texas and Part of Mexico & the United States Showing
the Route of the First Santa Fe Expedition, mildly foxed and torn where it is tipped in; some staining and chipping along the edges. Volume I illustrated (aside from frontispiece) with one engraved plate; Volume II with two engraved plates. Both volumes beautifully rebound and reinforced in black cloth over boards with blind and gilt stamped spines. Moderate foxing of Volume I; light to moderate foxing in Volume II. Small hole on page 13 of Volume I, but not affecting the text. Text of both volumes remains bright. Light shelfwear, especially to spine. Despite the flaws, both are in fine condition. This classic of western Americana recounts the adventurers and suffering of a small group of Texans who set out across the plains in 1841 to seize neighboring New Mexico. President Mirabeau Lamar had directed the group to take control of New Mexico either through diplomacy or force. Instead, the poorly provisioned party became lost on the arid high plains, eventually arriving in desperate straits. Alerted to the Texans intentions, New Mexico officials sent a force to meet them. The Texans were persuaded to surrender, taken prisoner, and marched to Mexico City. George Wilkins Kendall, the owner of a New Orleans newspaper, accompanied the Texans and shared their fate, but along the way he kept notes and sent dispatches to his newspaper that became the basis of his remarkable book. Kendalls Narrative of the Texan Santa Fe Expedition earned a wide readership, selling an amazing 40,000 copies in its first eight years. A classic travel narrative and cornerstone book about early Texas. TSHA member donation. All proceeds, including Buyers Premium, will go to support TSHA. Reference: Field 818. Graff 2304. Howes K75.

42101 William Kennedy. Texas: The Rise, Progress, and Prospects of the Republic of Texas. In Two Volumes. London: R. Hastings, 1841. First edition. Two 8vo volumes. lii, 378 pages; vi, 548 pages. Appendices. Bound in brown cloth, blind stamped and featuring the Lone Star; giltstamped spine. Two folding maps and two full page maps. With a complete map by John Arrowsmith, attached opposite the title page: Map of Texas, compiled from Surveys recorded in the Land Office of Texas, and other Official Surveys. Measuring 20 x 24, outlined in color, marking towns, counties, roads, military routes, rivers, creeks, and other physical features. With insets of the Plan of Galveston Bay and the western U.S. and Mexico. Printed along the lower edge of the map, London Pubd. 17 April, 1841, by John Arrowsmith. 10 Soho Square. The map is beginning to separate from the book in places, but is otherwise in great condition. The spine covering of Volume I is detached at the top and torn in the bottom half, exposing what appears to be excerpts from a newspaper and a magazine. The boards are faded and stained; corners are bumped. The foot of the spine is chipped, but no loss of cloth. Pages are only slightly toned and remain bright. Binding is tight. Boards of Volume II are faded with some chipping at the top and middle of the spine. Corners are bumped; pages mildly toned. Binding of Volume II is also tight. Both volumes have the bookplate of the previous owner, the Earl of Ellenborough, attached to the front pastedown. Edward Law (1790-1871), the first and only Earl of Ellenborough, was a member of the Privy Council and is most remembered as the seventeenth Governor-General of India. In both volumes is also found handwritten above the bookplates Ellenborough, though it is likely that this is not in Edward Laws hand.

Jenkins, in his Basic Texas Books, writes that the Arrowsmith map was, apparently, included in only a portion of the copies of the original edition, as only a small percentage of surviving copies contain it. The second folding map, facing page 336 of Volume I, is a Map of the Republic of Texas and the Adjacent Territories, Indicating the Grants of Land Conceded under the Empresario System of Mexico. It measures 16 x 13. Considered the single best work on early Texas and hugely important in encouraging European emigration. This publication by William Kennedy (1799-1871) covers the geography and natural features of Texas as well as its history during the revolution and early years of the Republic, with many of the basic documents of the revolution seeing their first European publication in these volumes. Texans were shocked that such a thorough and comprehensive overview of Texas could have been written by a European, but Kennedy himself gives a clue as to how he was able to obtain such a wealth of reliable data when he reveals that he was given access to M[irabeau]. B. Lamars private papers a collection that was then and is still now an unexcelled mine of information on Texas history and geography (Jenkins). This work had such a profound influence on gaining recognition of Texan independence abroad particularly in England and Germany that Kennedy, an Irishman, was appointed by the Texas government as Texan Consul in London and later as British Consul at Galveston. Per Raines: This book was pronounced to be the best history of Texas extant. The Texan Congress passed a resolution of thanks to the author. The physical description of Texas [is] the best published up to that time. No historian of Texas has more eloquent paragraphs. An important work on Texas . . . [and] a most interesting book . . . Kennedy brings in various contemporary comments not usually found in the conventional account, and there is much in the way of contemporary articles and observations. (Streeter). An extremely important book that helped to establish Texas as an international presence. References: Basic Texas Books 117. Graff 2308. Howes K92. Raines, pp. 132-133. Sabin 37440. Streeter 1385.

printed. As noted by Howes: Paints a favorable picture of Texas, and may have hastened English recognition of her independence. Jenkins assures us that Kennedys work is The most comprehensive account of Texas published during its decade as an independent nation ... a work of profound influence. Also includes Copy of Field Notes and Journal of Survey by A. Le Grand, the man in charge of the survey party to map out a land grant for the New Arkansas and Texas Land Company. Unlike the English issue of this book, the American edition does not include the map, but is generally considered rarer and more desirable. Reference: Streeter 1385B. Sabin 37441. Graff 2308.

First edition, thus. 8vo. 118pp. Later contemporary binding with marbled boards and red buckram back strip. The title has been hand-written on a makeshift paper label and mounted to the front board and spine. The boards are generally scuffed and worn, especially along the edges. The back board is detached.

Kennedy was an Irish poet who spent two short months in the Texas Republic in 1839 and returned home to write one of the most important works on Texas ever

42104 Mirabeau B. Lamar. Address of His Excellency Mirabeau B. Lamar to the Citizens of Santa Fe. [Austin]: Austin City Gazette Office, [1841]. Also Proclama de su Excellencia Mirabeau B. Lamar a los Ciudadanos de Santa Fe, Constitucion de la Republica de Tejas, Constitution of the Republic of Texas, Decreto Relativo a las Yglesias Catolicas y propriedades pertenecientes a ellas, and An Act Concerning the Catholic Churches. 8vo, 14; 47 pages. Disbound with all signatures intact and all of the pages have been silked for preservation. Modern casing of red, quarter-bound cloth over boards with red leather spine featuring two raised bands and gilt lettering and an integral chemise. Moderate to heavy toning, with staining found scattered throughout. Text is faded in parts, but still entirely legible. Some small holes and wrinkling from silking resulting in minimal text loss. Some light water damage. Composed of two letters, the first, dated June 5, 1841, opens with an address to the Inhabitants of Santa Fe, and of the other portions of New Mexico, to the East of the Rio Grande, where he bluntly states the position of Texas toward the citizens of New Mexico: The country has been won by our valor, and is consecrated to civil and religious liberty; and in no portion of it, will the enemy who provoked our resentment...ever be permitted to continue its authority, or perpetuate its domination. Knowing such to be the feelings of our people, it is due to candor to apprise you of the fact; and to let you know that the position which you now occupy towards the Government is temporary only...Although residing within our established limits, you are at present paying tribute to our enemies, professing allegiance to them, and receiving laws from their hands - a state of things utterly incompatible with our right of sovereignty, and which certainly cannot be permitted to be of long continuance. We do not use this language in any spirit of unkindness to you...Our purpose is simply to place before you the rights which we claim, and admonish you of the change in your condition, which the force of circumstances will inevitably bring about at no distant period, eight with or without your consent...that constituting, as you do, a portion of the civilized population of this Republic, you cannot...be allowed to exist as a separate and independent people, but must be finally compelled to unite with us under the same Constitution and laws, and share our destiny, as an undivided nation. That which you will have to do ultimately, we invite you to do now.
Lamar continues by enticing the people to join him by laying out the advantages of living under the umbrella of Texas democracy and expounding upon the valor of the people of Texas by telling of their glories during the Revolution, as well as the cold-blooded butcheries of Goliad and the Alamo by their friends, the Mexicans. Translated into Spanish, it is found in the accompanying pamphlet, Proclama de su Excellencia Mirabeau B. Lamar a los Ciudadanos de Santa Fe. The second letter, To the Citizens of Santa Fe: Friends and Compatriots, dated a year earlier, April 14, 1840, is less hostile and talks about the glorious revolution and urges the joining of the two peoples. Most of the copies of the Address were destroyed during the Santa Fe Expedition, leading Streeter to proclaim the Address to be one of the fifteen most desirable items of Texana. In an aggressive maneuver to lure some of the westward flow of goods through Texas and away from the Santa Fe Trail, President Mirabeau Lamar unofficially commenced the Texas Santa Fe Expedition in 1841. (The reason for the expedition was much more complicated than simply a trade mission: President Lamar, without the backing of the Texas Congress, was also attempting to lure the citizens of New Mexico to come under the jurisdiction of the republic, by force if necessary.) Merchants, with twenty-one wagons of goods valued near $200,000, were escorted by 321 soldiers with artillery, carrying copies of the Address with them. The expedition was poorly organized and executed. Traveling northwest in unfamiliar terrain, the party got lost. Meanwhile, food and water supplies ran short as hostile Indians harassed the party. When they finally arrived in New Mexico in mid-September 1841, they were met by a large Mexican Army. In no position to fight, the merchants and soldiers surrendered and were marched as prisoners to Mexico City. While there, they were rescued by U.S. diplomacy and released in April, 1842. Though an unfortunate episode, it did bring Texas into the consciousness of the U.S. as war with Mexico loomed closer. Reference: Streeter 480; 483. Estimate: $15,000-$20,000 Starting Bid: $7,500
42106 Tom Lea. Peleliu Landing. El Paso: Carl Hertzog, 1945. Deluxe edition limited to 500 copies, hand-numbered and signed twice by the author on introduction page bound in front. With an autograph note laid-in: To Elley with affection from Tom Lea. 4to, 34 pages. Illustrated with ten of the authors original battle sketches.

Bound in olive green herringbone twill cloth, the same material as Marine Corps combat dungarees, with titles printed in black on the front board. Tom Lea combat photograph used as endpapers. Page edges untrimmed. This copy is very nice and in near fine condition. As a war correspondent for Life magazine, Lea was present for the first 32 hours of the Marines assault on Peleliu Island. His text and sketches brilliantly capture the terror and shock experienced by the Marines in those first few critical hours. Hertzogs choice of type face, paper and binding is integral to Leas narrative and sketches and one finds it difficult to image that one could stand without the other. Certainly this work must be counted as one of Hertzogs greatest achievements. Reference: Lowman 29A. Estimate: $700-$900 Starting Bid: $350

Shortly thereafter, he enlisted in the army and saw action at the Battle of San Jacinto. Following the war, Legrand served as Justice of San Augustine County until 1838. Folds with light toning along the edges, especially the top. Fine. Estimate: $800-$1,200 Starting Bid: $400
42109 John H. Lendrum Mexican War Archive containing the epaulets of Mexican General Gabriel Valencia, the sword of a Mexican officer, a map of the Battle of El Molino del Rey, a presidential commission to captain by brevet, and orders. Lieutenant John H. Lendrum, Third Artillery, United States Army, served with distinction throughout General Winfield Scotts Mexico City Campaign during the Mexican-American War. Lendrum kept a detailed journal in which he documents the movement of the American army from his arrival at the Port of Veracruz on May 29, 1847, until the fall of Mexico City and beyond, giving us an eyewitness account of such famous battles as Churubusco, El Marino del Rey, and Chapultepec. During the Battle of Chapultepec, Lendrum and a Lt. Jones carried a mountain howitzer into the belfry of a church where they began to rain fire upon the soldiers at the Gateway. Curiously, Ulysses S. Grant, who was also present at the Battle of Chapultepec, recounts a similar story in the Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant: I got an officer...with a mountain howitzer...to go with me...The gun was carried to the belfry and put together...The shots from our little gun dropped in upon the enemy... Neither men make mention of the other in their memoirs. The War Department, however, contains the report of Brevet Colonel John Garland who states: ...I recognized the command as it came up, mounted a howitzer on the top of a convent, which, under the direction of Lt. Grant...and Lt. Lendrum... annoyed the enemy considerably. It was for this action that Lendrum was awarded a brevet commission to captain.
54
Lendrum was also ordered to occupy the house of Mexican General Gabriel Valencia during the same battle. In his journal, Lendrum writes: We were now sent to occupy the house-top of Genl Valencia. We found the house deserted but everything left untouched. We remained in quarters here until the morning of the 15th... It is probable that this is where he obtained the epaulets and the officers sword. After the war, Lendrum is ordered to California in command of two companies. He is still in California when, at San Francisco on October 21, 1861, he is injured by a train of dirt cars. Captain John Lendrum died four days later, aged thirty-three years. Gabriel Valencias Epaulets. Set of two Mexican officers epaulets measuring roughly 5.5 x 7.75. On the interior of one epaulet is written: Gems Valencia [sic]/Mexican officer surrendered/Capt. John H. Lendrum/Co. I, 3rd U. S. Arty/1845. Inside the second epaulet is written: Capt. John H. Lendrum/Co. I, 3rd U. S. Arty/Genl Vallencia [sic]/1845/Mexican War. The date has been changed with pencil on both epaulets to read 1847. The brass and gilt epaulets feature gold thread and coils that extend down from the shoulder boards and display the Mexican coat of arms (an eagle with wings outstretched grasping a cactus with its left claw while holding a snake with its right claw and beak) on the gold, silk-threaded boards. Unlike American epaulets, the tassels are rigid. Gabriel Valencia (1799-1848) served in the Spanish Army as a young man. During the Mexican War of Independence he fought under Agustin de Iturbide and continued his military career as a brigadier general in the Mexican Army. He made an uneasy coalition with General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna where both men would work together for the benefit of mutually attaining political gain. During the Mexican War (1846-1848) Santa Anna ordered Valencia to halt the advance of American General Winfield Scott as he pushed toward Mexico City from Veracruz. Valencias army settled in at the town of Contreras. Santa Anna ordered Valencia to fall back to Churubusco, but Valencia ignored him. Santa Anna withheld reinforcements and Valencias army was subsequently routed. The fate of Valencia after the Battles of Contreras and Churubusco is unclear. Allegedly Santa Anna ordered him to be shot on sight. It is believed Valencia died in Mexico City in 1848, cause unknown. Mexican Officers Sword. 33 blade, 37.75 overall. Ricasso marked Weyersberg Frres / Solingen, three branch D guard hilt with leather inner liner, wood with twisted wire grip, black leather soft scabbard with two ring mounts (missing the drag), the hilt and mounts are iron. A fine example. Battle of El Molino del Rey Map. Sketch of the Operations/of the/1st Division United States Army/under the command of/General Worth/on the 8th Sept. 1847/by/Edmd. L. F. Hardcastle/ Brt. 2nd. Lieut. Top Engineer. Philadelphia: P. S. Duval Lithographer, n. d. (circa 1850). This handsome map measures 20.75 x 14.75 and is mounted to a black backing board to an overall size 21.75 x 15.75. The map shows the location of General Winfield Scotts headquarters at Tacubaya, the buildings comprising Molino del Rey and Casa de Mata, lines representing infantry movements and artillery, and the Castle of Chapultepec. The Battle of El Molino del Rey was fought on September 8, 1847, shortly after the Battle of Churubusco. General Winfield Scott had received reports of Santa Anna rushing church bells to a foundry 1,000 yards from Chapultepec Castle called El Molino del Rey (the Kings Mills). Comprised of several buildings nearly 500 yards in length, the bells were to be melted down and cast into cannon. The fighting took place here and at another large stone building known as Casa de Mata, approximately 400 yards away, which was used in the storage of gunpowder. The Casa de Mata was destroyed along with the molds for the cannon. The result was a costly American victory. Fold creases are found throughout and some adhesive ghosting is present on the corners, but otherwise in fine condition.

praising the map [the 1849 edition] on the floor of the U.S. Senate ...that it was the most correct and authentic map of Texas ever compiled. Of the 1850 edition: An important and authentic map-possibly the finest of the period. (Eberstadt) [Jacob] De Cordova, a native of Jamaica, was one of the earliest Jewish settlers in Texas. He supplied goods for the Texas Revolution from New Orleans and settled in Galveston in 1837. [...] He was fluent in English, German, French, Spanish, Hebrew, and several Indian languages. He became one of the leading land merchants in Texas, and worked for thirty years promoting immigration into the state (Jenkins). In 1847, De Cordova was elected to the Texas House of Representatives, but lost his bid for reelection in 1849. Working as a land agent, he, along with George B. Erath, laid out the town of Waco. He was instrumental in promoting immigration to Texas through speeches professing her wonders given throughout the United States and as far away as England. He also published a number of pamphlets and guidebooks including The Texas Immigrant and Travellers Guide Book (1856) and Texas, Her Resources and Her Public Men (1858). De Cordova died in 1868.

42127 [Pacific Railroad Survey]. Collection of Thirty-Two Maps from Volume XI of Reports of Explorations and Survey to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for a Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Between 1803 and the end of the Mexican War in 1848, the United States had attained vast swaths of land stretching from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Travel from east to west took two forms: overland using the slow, cumbersome horse and wagon or a long sea voyage around the southern tip of South America. It was agreed that a faster mode of transportation was needed. Railroads, which had been employed in the east since the 1830s and could be used to quickly transport passengers and freight, were the natural choice. The question that remained was where to put it. In the 1840s, the United States government had sponsored several expeditions to determine the most appropriate route of a transcontinental railway, but due to sectional and economic rivalry, no one route gained complete support. In 1853, Congress authorized Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, who enlisted the support of the U. S. Armys Corp of Topographical Engineers, to send out four expeditions to determine the most practical placement of the railway. The Northern Pacific to assess a northern route roughly along the 47th and 49th parallels; the Central Pacific, along the 37th and 39th parallels; a southerly route along the 35th parallel; and a second southern route, favored by Davis, through Texas to San Diego. The massive amount of data collected by the expeditions was published by the War Department in twelve volumes between 1855 and 1861 . The maps contained in this excellent archive are taken from Volume XI Reports of Explorations. Estimate: $4,000-$5,000 Starting Bid: $2,800

History of the Revolution in Texas, Particularly of the War of 1835 & 36; Together with the Latest Geographical, Topographical, and Statistical Accounts of the Country, From the Most Authentic Sources. Also, an Appendix. New York: Wiley & Putnam, 1838. First edition. 12mo, x, [4], 215 pages. India paper fold-out map titled Texas, 1838. Brown blind-stamped cloth over boards with gilt lettering on spine topped by a gold star. Front edge of rear board bumped. Heavy foxing on endpapers; moderate foxing throughout. Map is lightly foxed with a soiling at the left edge. Clear dust jacket. In 1837 Rev. Chester Newell traveled through Texas for health reasons and as a result of his experiences there, wrote one of the earliest histories of the Republic. Newells account is obviously pro-Texas, but it is more objective than many other books on the subject from that time period. Includes reviews of the history of the region while part of Mexico, the Texas revolutionary war, the regions geography, topography, statistics, soil and climate. Historians and Texana experts call this book one of the most informative and trustworthy histories of the young Republic. One of the earliest books about the Texas Revolution to be published, (Basic Texas Books 151A) praises its value: The work begins with an excellent summary of Mexican history from 1821 to 1835, followed by a sketch of Texas history from 1832 to 1835, ending with Cos retreat from San Antonio. The events of 1836 are described, including quotations from participating Texans and from Mexican accounts, such as Almontes diary. Of particular value are the account of Santa Annas capture [and his] confrontation with Houston shortly afterwards. Newell was one of the first to seduce Sam Houston into giving particulars of the campaign... The quotations from participants are of considerable value. The descriptive portions add much to our knowledge of the early Republic.... The account is pro-Texan throughout, but more objective than many other contemporary Anglo-American versions.... Newell describes the towns of the Republic, offers advice to immigrants, analyzes the people of Texas, and projects the future. His predictions, some sage and some ludicrous, are remarkable. The late John H. Jenkins, noted antiquarian book collector, sixth-generation Texan, and author of Audubon and Other Capers, had wonderful things to say about Newells book, which contained Jenkins favorite quotation about the character of Texans in the early days: There is existing in the minds of the people in many places, if not generally, at the North, a strong and bitter prejudise [sic] against Texas. ... Because it has been represented to be the resort of criminals, of insolvent and fraudulent debtors, of outlaws, and bad characters of every description. ... No, it is believed only that a large part of the people of Texas are of the character described. Well, admitting they are, should the entire population and country be then reviled?

Page, a graduate of Harvard Medical School, traveled throughout Texas in the spring of 1839, through Nacogdoches, Houston, Bastrop, Goliad, and San Antonio. Streeter acknowledges the book to be a pleasant account of the authors travels in Texas. Indeed, Page waxes loquacious with his descriptions. San Antonio, for instance: The air here is always balmy, and elastic as a morning zephyr. It is as fresh as a rose leaf; and the mind and body both seem buoyed up by it. Those who have breathed the nitrous oxide gas may have some idea of its elasticity, and sweetness, and its happy effects upon the soul. At frequent intervals Page pauses in his observations to praise the inroads of civilization taming the frontier: The fandango is no more. The monte table is broken, and the cards are scattered. The schoolmaster has arrived, and civilisation is to spread abroad here upon the wings of the American eagle, and knowledge is to cover the land as the waters cover the sea. Savage cruelty, rioting and drunkenness have disappeared with this noisy, dirty, and querulous race. C. W. Raines sums up the book in a single sentence.

The deed begins: El ciudadano Jose Jesus Vidaurri, commissioned by the Supreme Government of the State, for the establishment of the colony contracted by the Empresarios Power and Hewetson... and grants land to Maria Josefa Travieso, a neighbor of Goliad and a widow, and her son Jose Maria Valdez. According the Handbook of Texas, when the lands for the new Power and Hewetson colony were surveyed in 1834, the officials recognized Goliad priest Father Juan Antonio Valdezs prior possession of ranch land in the colony. However, a portion of his land was allocated to Mara Josefa Travieso and her son. Valdez was reputed to be the father of this child, who was born around 1813. The present land deed offered is likely the very deed transferring ownership to Maria Josefa. Signed Juan Dunn and Jose Jesus Vidaurri, with a third illegible signature on page three. On page four is a Republic of Texas land transfer conveying half of the tract by Maria Josefa Travieso and Jose Antonio Valdez to Andrew Neill, dated August 30, 1839.

The false partial, exaggerated and inflammatory statement in Polks message, of supposed or pretended wrongs done by Mexico to the U. States is producing its effect upon the ignorant and superficial men and on Whigs and opponents of the war. We may be able in some measure to do away this impression by giving the facts as to our claims and details of the wrongs and insults which Mexico can array as an offset, but you are aware that it takes a long time for truth told by a private citizen to overtake falsehoods flying on the four winds from the Presidents lips. Now it does seem to me that a counter document issued with equal solemnity and from an equally conspicuous source in Mexico, is demanded. Permit me to suggest some points as proper to be treated of. He goes on to give six points to counter Polks speech: 1. The real nature of the pretended injuries as being to private persons and private property and not public wrongs or national indignities and as being also the results of mistakes of subordinate officers in applying you laws, or the ordinary case of taking private property for public use, as in the impressments of vessels and forced loans, for which Mexico has never refused a due indemnity, nor indeed in any case when it should be found to be due. 2. The wrongs and outrages committed by smuggling and by national vessels of the U. S. involving most palpable national insults; as the elopement of vessels from your harbors...Also the capture of your public vessels by ours merely because they were engaged in executing your revenue laws against smugglers, and endeavoring to enforce and maintain the authority of the nation in Texas and on its coast. 3.The outrage of Com Jones, (probably the result of secret orders) at Monterey...Also the outrage committed by the Alert (I think the vessel was called) at San Diego; and...of Gaines invasion of Mexican territory in 1836. Commodore Thomas ap Catesby Jones had seized the port of Monterrey, California, in 1842, believing war had begun between the U. S. and Mexico. Edmund Gaines had in 1836 been stationed along the LouisianaTexas border during the Texas Revolution. Forbidden to interfere, he received false information that a force of Mexicans and Indians 2,000 strong was amassing near Nacogdoches, Texas, causing him to march fourteen companies to the Texas-Louisiana frontier. He pulled them back to Louisiana after the Battle of San Jacinto. 4. The utter neglect and refusal of our government to make any satisfaction, or give any indemnity for pecuniary damage in any of these [above] cases. 5. The repeated attempts to obtain Texas by negotiation...the military irruptions...the final application for a grant of a district as an asylum for Catholics, persecuted in the U. S...the pertinacious and insolent attempts to make Mexico the slavecatcher of the U. S... 6...the insulting and outrageous conduct of Americans to officers of the law, to the citizens, Government and judicial tribunals, all in the overbearing and insolent spirit caught from their government. He concludes: Now is the time...to strike a terrible blow. Such a blow would bring a storm of indignation about Polks ears that would make him quail... unless your countrymen fight longer and harder, unless the tide of success is turned or at least checked, millions of souls here who would be loud against the slavemongers...will settle down into resignation to what will seem to them destiny. In the name of the God of Justice, in the name of liberty and humanity let Santa Ana strike. At the end of the letter, the author ran out of space and continued by writing perpendicularly across the first page. At the top margin is written return copy. Remnants of a red wax seal is found on the verso of the last page. Heavily toned and foxed; folds are weak and separating in places, causing some loss of text.

42148 [Mexican War]. Letter Criticizing President Polks Address to Congress calling for a declaration of war against Mexico and offering counter-points should Mexico choose to issue a formal rebuttal. Four and one half pages, 8 x 10, n. p, December 21, 1846, to General [Juan Nepomuceno] Almonte/City of Mexico from an unknown sender. Though it is unsigned, it is likely that the author is Lewis H. Putnam, an American citizen and an outspoken critic of the Mexican War who maintained a treasonous correspondence with General Almonte throughout the war. He begins by criticizing President Polks May 11, 1846, address to Congress in which Polk, laments the long-continued and unredressed wrongs and injuries committed by the Mexican Government on citizens of the United States in their persons and property. He writes:

I would like to finish these views upon this finanical [sic] question but I must forbear unless you should desired by you. I hope sir, you will appreciate my motive for adverting to this subject, & attribute it only to my anxiety for you as the financial agent of your country & for her prosperity. I will expect to hear from you soon, & in the main [sic] time, you will hear from me again. I am Dear your obt. servt & a devoted friend of your country. Little is known of Lewis H. Putnam. An American citizen opposed to the war with Mexico, he sought to help the Mexican cause from inside the United States and carried on a treasonous letter correspondence with Mexican Secretary of War General Juan Almonte. Juan Nepomuceno Almonte (1803-1869) served as an aide-de-camp on the staff of General Santa Anna throughout his invasion of Texas during the Texas Revolution. He was present at the Battle of the Alamo and was captured with Santa Anna after the Battle of San Jacinto. During the Mexican War, he twice served as Secretary of War.

42149 [Mexican War]. Lewis Putnam Autograph Letter Signed Lewis H. Putnam. Two and one-half pages, 8 x 10.5, on colored paper, New York, February 19, 1847. Written to Gen [Juan Nepomuceno] Almonte shortly before the general was arrested for participating in the failed Polkos Revolt to oust President Valentin Gomez Farias and four days before the Battle of Buena Vista, the letter regards the financial situation of Mexico during the Mexican War and Putnams plan for how the necessary funds could be acquired. The letter reads in part: ...The most of the troops of the line, are in Mexico, or soon will be, & the arms that Id signed to use, would enable me to cope successfully with any irregular Troops that could be brought against me; But whether I succeed in obtaining the means necessary to enable me to take a part in the contest or not, I hope the result of the war, will be advantageous to the Mexican Arms. The subject that is paramount with me is to see a union, a union among the people and people: leaders which will enable you to present a solid front to the enemy of your country. I feel some solitude about the financial affairs of the country, & I hope that you may succeed in adopting some plan, that will prove equal to the exigency of the war. I am convinced however that you will be oblige to issue Bills of the denomination of $5, $10, $20, $50, & $100 for the use of the army & for the general purpose of the Government. If the annual expenses are greater then the income you must be able to make up for the deficency [sic] & if you fail in doing so, it will prove desatrous [sic] to the army. The emition [sic] of paper money, we are told that it originated with the Spanish army in Spain, & I think that if you refer to war in Europe with Napolian [sic], you will see that England depended mainly upon the Bank of England which for thirty years did not pay any specie, & I hope that it will be possible for your Government to issue paper that would be received as a currency of the country in all the Departments in Mexico. If each Deparment [sic] would gaurentee [sic] the redemption of a certain amount in so many years, & the clergy would assume a part of the amount, & if the Government would receive the same for dues, I think you would be able to issue about $25,000,000 every year, for three or four years. But, if I should be able to take the field; the war would not last four years between Mexico & the United States. To enable you to meet your engagements, for the purchase of military stores &c if the amount contributed by the clergy, & the Department, Should be in part gold & silver, I think that you would be able to manage your financial affair with more facility then you ever will be able to do under the present system. Your annual income must be equal to your annual expeses [sic], & if not, you must provide for the deficency [sic], & how will you do it unless you could obtain money upon the credit of the Government? The idea of the respective states in Mexico paying a sufficient sum, or the church as a mode to furnish the Government with the means for conducting the war will in my opinion fail unless it could be done in such a way as to make it work with harmony. If the churches would pay over to the Government the annual income above their expenses & charge 5 or 6 percent for the use of it & would consolidate the interest with the lone [sic] During the

Appointed by the state of Georgia as secession commissioner to Texas, Sanford addresses the Texas Secession Convention and appeals to their sense of southern solidarity and brotherhood, in part, as follows: The State of Georgia has specially deputed me to announce to your honorable body that she has, in the exercise of her sovereignty, formally and solemnly abrogated and annulled the ordinance by which she became a member of the Federal Union. In making this announcement, I deem it unnecessary to enter into a detailed exposition of the causes which have impelled her to this course of action. I shall, therefore, content myself with briefly adverting to the fact, that her Northern confederates have, for many years pretermitted no opportunity of annoying her upon the subject of negro slavery, until emboldened by her past forbearance, they have publicly proclaimed their determination of waging an unceasing warfare against its further extension and longer toleration...Others of her sister States have for like cause acted in like manner. Some have preceded and others have followed her action, and I trust, one and yet another will continue to follow, until all are embraced in the same family group, and placed under the protecting aegis of that Constitution which we all have loved so well, and still love, but which, alas ! we have in vain tried to save from the sacrilegious hands of the ruthless despoiler...The hearts of Southern fathers and Southern mothers...have followed you to this distant land, and though saddened by the wide interval between you and them, they become less sad, as hope and faith bid them look forward to the time when all will again live under the same form of government, and be protected by its strong arm. General John W. A. Sanford (1798-1870) served as a major general during the 1836 Cherokee War and was subsequently elected to the Georgia Senate. Folds and light, uneven toning; text is faded slightly in the middle at left. Right edge untrimmed. Held in a green half Moroccan and chemise slipcase with gilt stamped spine.

Goliad survivor John Hollidays copy
42166 Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna Autograph Letter Signed. One and a half pages, 8 x 10 (sight), presidential letterhead, Japala, August 6, 1842, to his son. Written as President during Santa Anas campaigns to unite and maintain control of the Republic. Reads, in full: My esteemed Pedro, I remained vexed by your graceful letter of the first of August in which you demonstrate in order the illegalities which, in your view or estimation, have been committed in the summary which has been formed because of Portillas accusation; but because I do not wish that it fall to me to judge without having concrete circumstances, I have not been able to form, which I demonstrated in my previous letter. Yes, I can assure you, that I will celebrate infinitely should the report of the assessor clear you of the charges which have resulted upon you, and that you vindicate yourself completely. As far as your wishes to go on the Yucatan campaign, I regret I cannot accede to them, because Portilla is going on it, you would be at a continual disadvantage and receiving continual embarrassments. I will arrange that you distinguish yourself in another way, since I want you to shine, in that I am your extremely affectionate father who wishes you happiness. A.L. Sta Anna. During his eleventh presidency, from October 10, 1841, to October 26, 1842, Santa Ana engaged in several military campaigns. Just around the time of this letter, in August 1842, Santa Ana sent four military warships to capture the island of Ciudad del Carmen, a strategic move in response to the Yucatans continued assertion of independence. Framed to an overall size of 19.5 x 16.5 with an image of Santa Anna and a small plaque. Regular folds with wax seal ghosting. Estimate: $1,500-$2,000 Starting Bid: $750
42167 Major-General Winfield Scott. Infantry-Tactics; or, Rules For the Exercise and Manoeuvres of the United States Infantry. New York: George Dearborn, 1835. Volume I of three volumes. 32mo, 202 pages; 44 pages; 21 pages. Illustrated with fourteen fold out plates on tissue paper with explanations of each; plate I has been removed and plate VIII is partially damaged. Divided into three parts: general instructions and regiment formation, School of the Soldier, and School of the Company. Twenty-one pages of sheet music tipped in at the rear. Original blind-stamped cloth over boards. Cloth is separating from the boards due to heavy wear. Corners and fore edge of rear board bumped. Spine covering is removed exposing the spine lining and textblock stitching; lining is chipped at the foot. Light to moderate foxing and dampstaining throughout. On the front and rear endpapers/flyleaves are written the names of the books previous owners, two of which belong to prominent soldiers of the Texas army. The first is that of John Holliday of the Texian Army...Capt Comdt. It is probable that this was John J. Holliday (the only John Holliday listed in the Military Rolls of the Republic of Texas, 1836-1845) who had served under James Fannin and survived the Goliad Massacre by swimming across the San Antonio River and hiding until the Mexicans left. After the Revolution, he joined the regular Texas army and held a captains commission. He was also a member of the failed Texas Santa Fe Expedition where he was captured by the Mexican army and imprisoned in Mexico. Holliday died en route to Galveston from Veracruz in 1842 after his release from prison. The second belongs to Tho. J. Bowen T. A./ Florence Georgia, likely First Lieutenant Thomas J. Bowen of Jordans Company, Texas Rangers. Along with his name, Bowen lists the locations of the Texas army as it was transferred around the state beginning at Camp Preston, then Camp Bowie on April 21 [1837], and finally Camp Crockett on June 12, 1837. This was the standard drill manual for the United States Army until 1855 when West Point professor William J. Hardee published his book, Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics. Reference: Sabin 78411.

Smith reviews the Texas border question, the various votes and movements for recognition and annexation in Texas and the United States, his activities in France and England, and the treaties which he negotiated. He carefully treats the slavery issue and corrects the grave errors in the incomplete and otherwise not wholly reliable history of Texas by Yoakum. References: Basic Texas Books 186. Howes A 574.

42169 1890 Spring Palace Award Medal. 2.5 x 4.75. Features a gold plate engraved with a picture of the Texas Spring Palace above an inscription reading Fort Worth; suspended from an inverted five-pointed star with surrounding wreath inscribed with 1890; suspended from a silver scroll engraved with Texas Spring Palace with affixed pin. The verso of the plate reads Awarded to/Houston County/for the/BEST display of/Products of the Forest. The entire piece is made of 14K gold weighing a total of forty-one grams. In a red leather presentation box lined in gold cloth. The Texas Spring Palace was an immigration/agricultural fair that opened in 1889 in the city of Fort Worth and ran between May 29 and June 20. Based in part on an idea of Fort Worth and Denver Railway immigration agent, Robert A. Cameron, its purpose was to draw settlers and investors to the area by featuring all of the natural resources that Texas had to offer in one place. It featured a 60,000 square foot palace which integrated Oriental, Moorish, and Malaysian design styles and was constructed of entirely wood. Each Texas county had its own space ornamented with its principal product. The fair proved so popular that it was repeated the next year, running May 10 through May 31. During the second season, medals were awarded to the counties with the best displays. Unfortunately, the 1890 season ended tragically and was to be the last. On the evening of May 30, a ball was held inside the palace, but was cut short when a fire ripped through the structure, destroying the building in fifteen minutes. Miraculously, even with the thousands in attendance that evening, only one fatality occurred. A visiting Englishmen, Alfred S. Hayne, was killed while courageously rescuing women and children from the blaze. Despite its two season run and disastrous end, the fair did succeed in bringing new businesses, factories, and financial investors to the Fort Worth area. Estimate: $3,000-$5,000 Starting Bid: $1,500

Basic Texas Books: One of the most controversial guide books written by a visitor to early Texas.... Stiffs guide is most useful for the light it sheds on such Texas settlements as Houston, which he states consisted of 382 houses and a population of three thousand, of which only about forty were women. He deprecates the moral character of the citizens, points out that there were 65 places of business, 47 of which were saloons or gambling houses.... Stiffs viewpoint throughout the book is decidedly proMexican. He castigates the Texas Revolution as having been fought by opportunists who rebel first and find out the reason afterwards.

42184 [Pancho Villa]. Gold Brooch Presented by Villa to Mrs. Max Fischbein. 22 karat gold, 1.13 x .36, with paste stones and red, white and green enamel work. All embellishments are original to the brooch, but the back-pin has been replaced. The brooch was purchased by our consignor in an estate sale in El Paso, and is accompanied by a family scrapbook. The scrapbook contains Fischbeins obituary, he and his wife Johannas United States immigration cards, photographs of the 1910 Mexican Revolution, El Paso, Fischbeins storefront in Parral, as well as personal family portraits. The scrapbook measures 13.25 x 10.25 x .63 with white leather boards and black paper pages. The scrapbook contains a newspaper announcement of the Fischbeins 50th anniversary, Johanna Fischbein is pictured wearing said brooch. Someone has noted (in Spanish), this brooch was given by Jose don Villa in July 1923 prior to his death. Villa was born Jos Doroteo Arango Armbula, and the Fischbeins likely knew him by his birth name. Previously, the brooch had been affixed to a page in the scrapbook shared by this anniversary announcement and her immigration card. Max Fischbein emigrated from Germany to Mexico in 1890. After establishing a successful tailoring business in Parral, Fischbein became the personal tailor to Pancho Villa. The obituary of Max Fischbein notes that, he was the only man in Mexico for whom Villa would take off his guns. Estimate: $1,500-$2,000 Starting Bid: $750
of truce but would not surrender the town. Capt. R. has given them some 3 or 4 days to decide. He dont wish to destroy the town because too many would suffer who are innocent. Washburns letter continues with an account of his land explorations near the fort. The letter, which refers to other ships (including the Harriet Lane), is playfully signed, Your Sincere Devoted Long Suffering Bald headed absent Husband, Henry W. Washburn. Following the cease-fire, the Confederates evacuated Galveston. Four months later, however, they defeated the occupying Union forces at the Second Battle of Galveston Bay to win back the important harbor. That same month-January 1863-the Morning Light and her crew were captured by the Confederate Navy one hundred miles up the Texas coast. The vessel was destroyed and the Union sailors were held as POWs. Washburn survived and was discharged from the navy in 1866. Very minor dampstaining at the top of page one. Usual folds. Estimate: $800-$1,000 Starting Bid: $400 42186 [Republic of Texas]. John White Autograph Letter Signed. Four pages, 7.5 x 12.5, Cincinnati, December 7, 1841, to Archibald Wynns, a member of the Texas House of Representatives, regarding immigration to Texas and the continued collection of taxes. Earlier that year, Congress had discussed a law in which 8,000 families would settle in Texas and be exempt from taxation for a period of twenty years. The bill passed the House, but failed in the Senate. He writes, in part: The times in the United States are frightfully hard and growing worse every day. Exchange between the best bank in this city and New York may be let down at 12 percent. Banks are failing all over the country - less and less public confidence in them every day...Depend on it, times must be very hard in Texas for some time to come. Our Congress must see the necessity of perpetuating our tax laws. Laxity and the extension of time in the collection of taxes, indeed a stop law for the collection of foreign debts, if we would not see the tide of immigration to our country turned back. If you would reward enterprise and investment, if you would protect our inhabitants and turn our savage forests into fertile fields...we must legislate some for ourselves...You will find that you have to collect the revenue from duties in gold and silver & its agriculture. Taxes, land dues and all else (to persevere and it will strengthen the faith and confidence abroad and in the integrity of the govt) in the issue of the govt. Without much reflection it now strikes me that were I Genl Houston I should dictate to Congress & the world that I never contemplated the issue of the millions and millions and that I would recommend the passage of an act for funding any issue at 20 or 25 cents on the dollar and another that they may be received in payment for the Cherokee Land say at the rate of 10 or 12 dollars per acre not less...Declare to the world that the embarrassments of our small population require this course or that posterity must share with us in good faith in these burdens. During the days of the Republic, population increased by 7,000 people yearly due to immigration (including Mexicans). Texas was active in promoting immigration to boost the defense of the frontier and encourage economic growth in the country. The letter is extremely fragile and is weakened along the folds, but the text remains bright and wholly legible. Very good. Estimate: $500-$700 Starting Bid: $250
42185 [First Battle of Galveston Bay]. Henry W. Washburn Autograph Letter Signed. Four lined pages, 8 x 10, Galveston, October 6, 1862. Washburn, the acting master and executive officer of the USS Morning Light, informs his wife of the details of the naval battle only two days after it took place. While the young naval officer wrote, the scene was calm as the opposing sides participated in a cease-fire to allow the Confederates time to ponder their next move which, the Union Navy hoped, would be surrender. Interestingly, Washburn writes from the Morning Light of his disappointment in the Rebels lack of prowess. In part: I was in hopes the Rebels would make a good fight but they only fired one Gun at us from the Fort and a few from the town. The Gun boats lie off the town in the channel waiting for the Surrender. . . . As we came opposite the Fort they fired at us one Solitary Shot and the Owasco returned it instantly from her 11 in. shell gun the shell burst close to the rebel gun inside the Fort. The other boats fired to quite queck[?] but the Rebels Skedadled away from the Fort mighty quick we could see them running for the town. . . . Capt. Renshaw the Senior Officer hoisted a flag of truce and we ceased firing. They sent of a flag
articles on Texas history from Austins colony to 1897. In these are to be found a wealth of essays and memoirs that are unsurpassed and still of immense value and interest. 42187 John Wesley Wilbarger. Indian Depredations in Texas. Austin: Hutchings Printing House, 1889. First edition. 8vo, x, 672 pages. 37 woodcuts. Indexed at the front. Original brown cloth, blind stamped in black, over boards. Gilt lettering to front board and spine. Rear hinge is cracked and being held to the textblock by the stitching. Bumped corners and light scuffing on the boards. Minor fraying on the board edges; spine foot is chipped. Slight, sporadic foxing. Prompted by the scalping (and subsequent survival) of his brother, Josiah, in 1833, Methodist minister John Wesley Wilbarger (1806-1892) compiled stories of struggles with Indians as given to him by surviving early settlers of Texas. Wilbarger, in large part due to the incident with his brother, paints the Indians as uncivilized barbarians and shows little respect for their plight or culture. It tells of nearly all the Indian fights and battles in Texas, with sketches of many of the most noted Texan Indian fighters and frontiersmen (Raines, Bibliography of Texas). The illustrations in this book, attributed to T. J. Owen, are believed to have been the work of William Sydney Porter, better known as O. Henry. References: Basic Texas Books 218. Howes W407.

42189 H[enderson] Yoakum. History of Texas From Its First Settlement in 1685 to Its Annexation to the United States in 1846. New York: Redfield, 1855. First edition. Two 8vo volumes. 482, 4 publishers ads; 576 pages. Appendix and indexed. Large fold-out map at the end of Volume I: Map of Spanish-Texas (heavily damaged and repaired). Fold-out facsimile military order signed by Santa Anna in Volume II. Four portrait plates (of Stephen Austin, [Ellis P.] Bean, Sam Houston, and Thomas J. Rusk); three plates of maps in the text: San Antonio & Its Environs, Ground Plan of the Alamo in 1835-6, and San Jacinto Battle-Ground. Engraved view of the Mission of San Jos as frontispiece to Volume I and engraved portrait of Sam Houston with facsimile signature as frontispiece of Volume II. Half-bound in brown with titles stamped in gilt on the spines and four raised bands; this volume has been rebound with decorative endpapers and reinforced hinges. Boards are scuffed and ends worn. Some wear on the spine, especially on the bands. Heavy foxing and dampstaining in Volume I; moderate foxing in Volume II. A few pages have been dog-eared. Offsetting to the portraits. Notations in pencil spread through Volume I. According to book lore the first printing in 1855 was mostly destroyed by fire and is quite rare. It is considered one of the most important works on early Texas. Yoakum had the use of materials provided to him by Sam Houston, Thomas J. Rusk and many others. Mr. Yoakum seems to have collected with great care all the existing material, with much that has never yet appeared in print. All contemporary accounts, personal narratives, private correspondence, individual reminiscences, newspaper statements, and official documents are called into requisition. The work, though wanting in system and condensed expression, is still of very great interest and value, and is deserving of general study. The author was evidently an enthusiastic admirer of Gen. Houston. (Raines, p. 223) References: Basic Texas Books 224. Howes Y10. Raines, p. 223. Estimate: $500-$700 Starting Bid: $250

42190 Lorenzo de Zavala. Ensayo Histrico de las Revoluciones de Mxico desde 1808 hasta 1830. Two volumes. Volume I, Paris: Imprenta de P. Dupont et G.-Laguionie, 1831; Volume II, Nueva-York: Imprenta de Elliott y Palmer, 1832. 8vo, 443 pages; vii, 420 pages. Indexed. Both volumes have marbled paper over boards with printed spine labels. Front boards of both volumes are bowed outward slightly. Heavily worn. Bumped corners on both volumes. Volume I shows some chipping at the head of spine and foot of spine covering removed. Both the head and foot of the spine covering on volume II removed. Light to moderate foxing throughout both books, heavier in volume II with significant toning; dampstaining at the top of the pages in volume I and on the rear endpapers of volume II. Lorenzo de Zavala (1788-1836), a participant in both the Mexican and Texan Revolutions, was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence and served as first (interim) vice-president of Texas under interim president David G. Burnet. Having held various political offices in Mexico, he resigned as Minister to France in 1834 and retired to the United States when one-time ally, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, assumed dictatorial powers. He was naturally drawn to the Texas political scene. A Mexican Liberal, he had first supported the idea of Mexican Federalism in Texas, but later changed his views and supported the Texas independence movement. Both books formerly belonged to Alexander Dienst, a dentist, author, and historian who amassed a collection of books and primary sources dealing with Texas history, primarily the Texas Revolution and the Texas Navy. From 1932 to 1935 served as president of the Texas State Historical Association and authored the book The Navy of the Republic of Texas, 1835-1845. On the front endpaper of both volumes, Dienst has written: These two volumes are from the private library of Bustamante of Mexico/ Dr. Alex. Dienst/Temple, Texas. Presumably, he is referring to Anastacio Bustamante, three-time president of Mexico during the nineteenth century. This historical essay on the Revolutions of Mexico is a work of some merit, by a thorough republican with strong prejudices. (Raines) Included because of the prominent part played by Zavala in Texas affairs, and for his comments on Austin, the law of April 6, 1830, Texas colonization...[and] Mexicans whose conduct influenced the course of events in Texas....A mine of information on the political events and personalities of the period covered.

My wife is at [illegible] and the last thing she said was not to forget to get your card de visite. Captain Strong has just gone to the New York Yard and will not probably be rewarded by promotion. The rule the secy has adopted is to give the shore duty to those who have been most constantly absent from home during the present rebellion. Your friends record is being examined to day before the secy. I regret to inform you that [Benito] Juarez and his cabinet have arrived at El Paso and that the Republic of Mexico for the time being has ceased to exist. In 1861, Mexican President Benito Jurez declared a cease to all interest payments made on European debts owed by Mexico; angering Great Britain, Spain and France. The United States was in the midst of the Civil War, leaving the path clear for France, under the rule of Napoleon III, to intervene and set up the puppet monarchy of Emperor Maximilian in 1864. Despite the common goal of wanting to rid themselves of foreign rule, the Mexican forces could not organize and ally themselves sufficiently to accomplish the task. The Second Mexican Empire lasted until 1867, when the emperor was executed and Benito Jurez was restored to the presidency. Est.: $300-$500 Start Bid: $150

Terms and Conditions of Auction

Auctioneer and Auction: 1. This Auction is presented by Heritage Auctions, a d/b/a/ of Heritage Auctioneers & Galleries, Inc., or Heritage Auctions, Inc., or Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc., or Heritage Vintage Sports Auctions, Inc., or Currency Auctions of America, Inc., as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the catalog or on the HA.com Internet site (the Auctioneer). The Auction is conducted under these Terms and Conditions of Auction and applicable state and local law. Announcements and corrections from the podium and those made through the Terms and Conditions of Auctions appearing on the Internet at HA.com supersede those in the printed catalog. Buyers Premium: 2. All bids are subject to a Buyers Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid: Fifteen percent (15%) on Arms & Armor, Currency, US Coin, and World & Ancient Coin Auctions lots; except that the World and Ancient Coin Auctions 3003 & 3018 shall have a Buyers Premium of 19.5%; Nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%) on Americana & Political, Civil War & Militaria, Comic, Manuscript, Movie Poster, Space Exploration, Sports Collectibles, Texana, Wine, and Gallery Auction (sealed bid auctions of mostly bulk numismatic material) lots; For all other categories not listed above, twenty-five percent (25%) on the first $50,000 (minimum $14), twenty percent (20%) of any amount between $50,000 and $1,000,000, and twelve percent (12%) of any amount over $1,000,000. Auction Venues: 3. The following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions (Coin, Currency, Comics, Rare Books, Jewelry & Watches, Guitars & Musical Instruments, and Vintage Movie Posters); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports, World Coins and Rare Wine). Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet, telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real- time telephone bidding are available to registered clients during these auctions. Bidders: 4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction (Bidder(s)). 5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneers sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction. 6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. Credit: 7. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of the Auction. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from preregistered Bidders. Bidders who are not members of HA.com or affiliates should preregister at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneers acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: HA.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the auction venue. Bidding Options: 8. Bids in Signature Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed catalog section entitled Choose your bidding method. For auctions held solely on the Internet, see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at HA.com/common/howtobid.php. 9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be considered your high bid. 10. Auctioneers Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneers place of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-443-8425); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction unless prearranged. 11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: How can I lose by less than an increment? on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. The following chart governs current bidding increments. Current Bid .....................Bid Increment Current Bid.......................Bid Increment <$10 .................................... $1 $20,000 - $29,999 .................$2,000 $10 - $29 ............................. $2 $30,000 - $49,999 .................$2,500 $30 - $49 ............................. $3 $50,000 - $99,999 .................$5,000 $50 - $99 ............................. $5 $100,000 - $199,999 .............$10,000 $100 - $199 ......................... $10 $200,000 - $299,999 .............$20,000 $200 - $299 ......................... $20 $300,000 - $499,999 .............$25,000 $300 - $499 ......................... $25 $500,000 - $999,999 .............$50,000 $500 - $999 ......................... $50 $1,000,000 - $1,999,999 .......$100,000 $1,000 - $1,999 ................... $100 $2,000,000 - $2,999,999 .......$200,000 $2,000 - $2,999 ................... $200 $3,000,000 - $4,999,999 .......$250,000 $3,000 - $4,999 ................... $250 $5,000,000 - $9,999,999 .......$500,000 $5,000 - $9,999 ................... $500 >$10,000,000 ........................$1,000,000 $10,000 - $19,999 ............... $1,000 12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half of the increment (Cut Bid) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids. Conducting the Auction: 13. Notice of the consignors liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A Minimum Bid is an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN Minimum Bids ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE Minimum Bid, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. Minimum Bids are generally posted online several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live session, or after the Minimum Bid for an Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyers Premium and Sellers Commissions on such lot. 14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneers decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. 15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in Good Faith when made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in Good Faith. Any person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid. 16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 4060% of the low estimate, the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor. 17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneers discretion (approximately 50%-60% of the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold. 18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction. 19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneers clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason and in Auctioneers sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot. 20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to contact Client Services at 1-800-872-6467. 21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors. 22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyers Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. Payment: 23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all reporting requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in Auctioneers account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes good funds: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten business day hold, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via eCheck, personal or corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of 5 days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise. (ref. T&C item 7 Credit for additional information.) Payments can be made 24-48 hours post auction from the My Orders page of the HA.com website. 24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. 25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the States of Texas, California, New York, or other states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. (Note: Coins are only subject to sales tax in California on invoices under $1500 and in Texas on invoices under $1000. Check the Web site at: http://coins.ha.com/c/ref/sales-tax.zx for more details.) Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes. 26. In the event that a Bidders payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using your credit card on file. 27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount or three percent (3%) of any installment that is past due. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorneys fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house legal staff, such attorneys time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. 28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer. A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 10% sellers commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less the 10% sellers commissions, if sold at an Auctioneers auction.

29.Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full in good funds before delivery of the merchandise. 30. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment of the Auction invoice. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice. If a Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidders property in their possession. 31. Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: 32. Buyer is liable for shipping and handling. Please refer to Auctioneers website www.HA.com/ common/shipping.php for the latest charges or call Auctioneer. Auctioneer is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. 33. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item(s) hammer price together with its buyers premium and Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Buyers on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs. 34. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful Bidder. On all domestic shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by Heritage until the shipping carriers confirmation of delivery to the address of record in Auctioneers file (carriers confirmation is conclusive to prove delivery to Bidder; if the client has a Signature release on file with the carrier, the package is considered delivered without Signature) or delivery by Heritage to Bidders selected third-party shipper. On all foreign shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Bidder following Auctioneers delivery to the Bidders designated common carrier or third-party shipper. 35. Due to the nature of some items sold, it shall be the responsibility for the successful Bidder to arrange pick-up and shipping through third-parties; as to such items Auctioneer shall have no liability. Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject Lots to storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage for larger items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days. In the event the Lot is not removed within ninety days, the Lot may be offered for sale to recover any past due storage or moving fees, including a 10% Sellers Commission. 36. The laws of various countries regulate the import or export of certain plant and animal properties, including (but not limited to) items made of (or including) ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, crocodile, or other wildlife. Transport of such lots may require special licenses for export, import, or both. Bidder is responsible for: 1) obtaining all information on such restricted items for both export and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such license or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely compliance with standard payment terms. For further information, please contact Ron Brackemyre at 800- 872-6467 ext. 1312. 37. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of shipment by Auctioneer. Cataloging, Warranties and Disclaimers: 38.

Auctioneer in no event shall be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages, compensatory damages, or any other damages arising or claimed to be arising from the auction of any lot. In the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, in such cases the sole remedy shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of the amount paid by Bidder; in no case shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneers maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. 47.

The locale shall be Dallas Texas. The arbitrators award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any party on any claim involving the purchase or sale of numismatic or related items may elect arbitration through binding PNG arbitration. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year of the alleged breach, default or misrepresentation or the claim is waived. This agreement and any claims shall be determined and construed under Texas law.

No claims of any kind can be considered after the settlements have been made with the consignors. Any dispute after the settlement date is strictly between the Bidder and consignor without involvement or responsibility of the Auctioneer. 50.

Bidder agrees that any claim shall utilize such remedies; Bidder making a claim in excess of those remedies provided in these Terms and Conditions agrees that in no case whatsoever shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. Miscellaneous: 52. Agreements between Bidders and consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize the Auctioneers Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, Auctioneer reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyers Premium and consignor a Sellers Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the sellers agreement. 53. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by Heritage in the future. In conformity with do-not-call regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. Heritage may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available through Heritage and its affiliates and subsidiaries. 54. Rules of Construction: Auctioneer presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions.

Additional Terms & Conditions: MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL AUCTIONS
MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM A: Signature and Grand Format Auctions of Autographs, Sports Collectibles, Music, Entertainment, Political, Americana, Vintage Movie Posters and Pop Culture memorabilia are not on approval. When the lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (or its equivalent) from an third-party authentication provider, buyer has no right of return. On lots not accompanied by third-party authentication or under extremely limited circumstances not including authenticity (e.g. gross cataloging error), a purchaser who did not bid from the floor may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to Auctioneer must be pre-approved by Auctioneer. A Bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of the Bidders request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidders receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated for return must be received in our offices within 35 days after Auction. AFTER THAT 35 DAY PERIOD, NO LOT MAY BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASONS. Lots returned must be in the same condition as when sold and must include any Certificate of Authenticity. No lots purchased by floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM B: On any lot presented with a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) issued by Auctioneer or its Heritage affiliates, that warranty inures only to the original purchaser (as shown in Auctioneers records) Purchaser. Purchaser may not transfer the rights afforded under the LOA and it is null and void when Purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer the lot. The LOA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Purchaser was awarded the lot to four (4) years after its purchase. The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lots usage, e.g. game worn. Claim procedure: Purchaser must contact the Auctioneer prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim and arrange secure shipment. If a lots authenticity is questioned by Purchaser within the warranty period, Purchaser must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the sports field. If Auctioneer concurs that the lot is not as represented, Purchaser shall be refunded their purchase price. If the Auctioneer denies the claim, the Purchaser may file the dispute with the American Arbitration Association with locale in Dallas, Texas, before a single arbitration under expedited rules. The LOA does not provide for incidental or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer or Heritages affiliates is subject to such issuing entitys rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to purchaser. For information as to third party authentication warranties the bidder is directed to: PSA/DNA, P.O. Box 6180 Newport Beach, CA 92658 (800) 325-1121. James Spence Authentication (JSA), 2 Sylvan Way, Suite 102 Parsippany, NJ 07054 (888) 457-7362; or as otherwise noted on the Certificate. MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM C: As authenticity and provenance are not warranted, if a Bidder intends to challenge, authenticity or provenance of a lot he must notify Auctioneer in writing within thirty-five (35) days of the Auctions conclusion. Any claim as to provenance or authenticity must be first transmitted to Auctioneer by credible and definitive evidence or the opine of a qualified third party expert and there is no assurance after such presentment that Auctioneer will validate the claim. Authentication is not an exact science and contrary opinions may not be recognized by Auctioneer. Even if Auctioneer agrees with the contrary opinion of such authentication and validates the claim, Auctioneers liability for reimbursement for any opine by Bidders expert shall not exceed $500. Acceptance of a claim under this provision shall be limited to rescission of the sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. While every effort is made to determine provenance and authenticity, it is the responsibility of the Bidder to arrive at their own conclusion prior to bidding. MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM D: In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneers liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed from the close of the Auction, Auctioneers maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM E: On the fall of Auctioneers hammer, buyer assumes full risk and responsibility for lot, including shipment by common carrier, and must provide their own insurance coverage for shipments. MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM F: Auctioneer complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A purchaser is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Purchaser is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm. MEMORABILIA AND HISTORICAL TERM G -SCREEN SHOT. Screen shots included in the catalog or on the Heritage Internet are provided for reference only. Important Notice: Many identical versions of props and costumes are created for film and television productions in the normal course of a production. Heritage does not warrant or represent that the screen shots referenced are exact images of the offered item (unless specifically noted in the written description). Use of a screen shot does not constitute a warranty or representation of authenticity or provenance. There is not a right of return or refund based upon a claim arising out of or pertaining to any reference to a screen shot. SPECIAL TERM H GUITARS: Bidders are urged to make a personal inspection of any guitar that they intend to bid on as there is a limited right of return. Heritage makes a visual inspection of the guitars to determine whether there are patent defects and whether the date and manufacturer corresponds to the description. Returns are not accepted for latent defects, structural issues, or mechanical and sound reproduction issues. It should be assumed that set up, adjustments and normal maintenance are necessary. For wiring instructions call the Credit department at 1-800-872-6467 or e-mail: CreditDept@HA.com
