NOTES

A second edition of one of the earliest travel books written about Texas, notable for its descriptions of Texan settlements and their inhabitants. The second edition is widely considered to be the best edition of this work for its expanded descriptions and its coverage of the Texas Revolution, which began in late 1835 and lasted into 1836. This expanded the book's page count to 380 from the first edition's 276. This copy includes the very scarce, highly detailed colored fold-out map that depicts Texas as it stood in 1836, which includes notes on the territory, its rivers, and the land grants system for incoming settlers. Sabin 58643.
