Description
A Republic of Texas Rarity
Scarce map of the Republic of Texas, colored to show Land Grants, engraved by Doolittle & Munson and published by George Conclin in Cincinnati.
The map appeared in the first edition of Edward Stiff's The Texan Emigrant: Being a Narration of the Adventures of the Author in Texas . . . , first published in 1840, but this being the only edition to include the map.
The map provides and excellent early accounting of the Empressario Land Grants then in existence, several of which are unnamed.
A number of early towns are named and the map gives a good accounting of the roads within the Republic. Ft. Alamo appears, as the does the Battle Ground northeast of Houston, a reference to the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto.
Condition Description
Minor restoration along lower right margin, with small repaired tear and minor facsimile in the neatline.
