Redrawing of borders neither began nor ended the
region's long history of unequal power relations. Nor did
it lead residents to adopt singular colonial or national
identities. Instead, their regionalism, transnational
cultural practices, and kinship ties subverted state
attempts to control and divide the population. A
sweeping, path-breaking achievement, benchmark study
of the borderlands. Tells the complex story of how
Spanish colonists settled Texas-Tamaulipas, the
struggles over land, identity and love as native nations,
Spain, Mexico, and the U.S. competed for this terrain.

Using classic articles taken from publications
unavailable to most readers, accounts by Spaniards who
witnessed the writing of the glyphs and research by
twentieth-century scholars--from Tatiana Proskouriakoff
to Michael Coe--this book provides a history of the
interpretation of Maya hieroglyphs. Introductory essays
offer the historical context and describe the personalities
and theories of the many authors who contributed to the
understanding of these ancient glyphs. More than two
hundred line drawings illustrate the text and serve as an
introduction to decipherment. This landmark work in
Maya studies is the first book to examine the centuries of
thought behind the decoding of Maya hieroglyphs.

Samuel Colt's new and efficient repeating arm molded
American history, but strangely it was not the Army or
the Navy which wrought spectacular change. The early
Colt revolver was the weapon of the civilian as Colt was
repeatedly rebuffed the politicians and high brass of the
Army and Navy. It was not until after his death in the
Civil War that his firearm became a major weapon in
both handgun and rifle versions. (14056)

especially to margins of lower wrap. Interior
exceptionally clean. VERY GOOD.
This stimulating guide to Texas emigration, describes
the state in glowing terms, including “Character of the
People of Texas” earnestly refutes as false the
contention than Texans are “violent and disorderly” and
that “there may be and probably are some disorderly
persons in the country. Articles include land, laws, stock
raising (“Western Texas is the paradise of stock
raisers”), cattle drives in 1875 (“large numbers of cattle
have been driven from the Mexican frontier to Northwestern Texas to avoid raiders”), “Sheep Husbandry in
Western Texas” (by John James), superiority of Mexican
hides, essays on major cities, railroads and
transportation, “Some Account of the Mineral Wealth of
Texas” (by A. R. Roessler, along with another article by
him), etc. Roessler enthuses: “Texas is, or will be, the
wealthiest State in the Union, possessing as she does
great agricultural capabilities, all the varieties of soils
minerals, and useful rocks known to exist in the
world.”Of special interest is Roessler’s ad (p. 86) for his
map establishment located at 52 Beekman Street in New
York, specializing in Texas maps “for a very small
price.” Raines p. 107 misspells Hanford as Hansford,
published annually from 1856-79 when it was absorbed
by Burke's Almanac. (12635) $100.00

as hundreds of people took up cameras and outdoor
photography coincided with a wave of settlement and
prosperity in Texas. These postcards, which now enjoy

geography of Texas. The author spent more than a
decade gathering this information, finding and studying
the photographers and methodically collecting their
postcards. He now shares his finds with readers, guiding

photographer and interpretive descriptions of the places,
people, or events depicted in the photographs. Presents

In his introductory "A Letter to a Southern Friend,"
omitted in earlier reprints, Olmsted sets forth his views
opposing the extension of slavery into the West and
promoting free-soil agriculture for frontier states. his
description of San Antonio’s San Pedro Springs will ring
familiar to anyone who has been dazzled by a Texas
spring: “The whole river gushes up in one sparkling
burst from the earth. It has all the beautiful
accompaniments of a smaller spring, moss, pebbles,
seclusion, sparkling sunbeams, and dense overhanging
luxuriant foliage. The effect is overpowering. It is
beyond your possible conceptions of a spring. You
cannot believe your eyes, and almost shrink from sudden
metamorphosis by invaded nymphdom.” BASIC 157 (I)

Garner became a serious candidate for president in the
spring of 1932. Although he did not pursue his campaign
vigorously, as convention time approached he acquired
the ninety Texas and California votes, which a candidate
had to have to be nominated. When he gave his votes to
Franklin D. Roosevelt on the fourth ballot, Roosevelt
became indebted to Garner and to the state of Texas. As
a result Garner was offered the vice-presidential
nomination, which he reluctantly accepted. On
November 8, 1932, he was simultaneously elected to the
vice presidency and reelected to Congress. He resigned
from Congress on March 4, 1933. (7109)

Lacking volume II. 604pp. Recently bound in maroon
leatherette with gilt spine titles. Very clean bright and
time with deterioration to inside corners of pages 588604 mostly in the margin with minor loss of text on a
few pages. Very Good.
Although the text is in Swedish, the 100's of photos, the
organization by community, and the 1000's of names
make this 2 volume set more than a very valuable rare
Texas book; This book is an important resource for
those interested in the settlement of early Texas by
immigrants from Sweden. Swedes comprise one of the
largest of European ethnicities in Texas. Swedish names
abound throughout the state both in family and place
names. Virtually every walk of life was filled by people
of Swedish origins and they have been among the most
successfully prosperous groups from the earliest days of
their arrival. it is a useful tool for those wishing to trace
the family history of their Swedish/Texan forebears. The
first volume begins with a general history of Texas and
the role of Swedes in forming the new nation/state. It
goes on to describe the general business, agricultural,
and social aspects of Texas. It is significant that
foremost among the chapters are those about
educational and religious practices. The communities
covered in Volume 1 are: Austin, Palm Valley (Eastern
Round Rock), New Sweden, Brushy (old Round Rock),
Georgetown, Taylor, and Hutto. Volume 2 continues
with coverage of the communities of: Decker, Ericsdale,
Jonah, Elroy, Kenedy, Manor, E. Sweden, W. Sweden,
Brady, Melvin, Ft.Worth, El Campo, Dallas, Waco,
Lund, Type, Kimbro, Manda, Ganado, Crosby, Elgin,
Louise, Galveston, Olivia, Temple, Swedonia, Bishop,
Swensondale, Lyford, San Antonio, Houston. The final
pages of this massive work are dedicated to showing the
"Service Flags" of various communities of Swedes who
served in the just-ended WWI. These include the rank,
company, and location and years of service.

obtained the official facts, but from the living men I

Wilson has produced what may well be the definitive
work on Colt firearms. Complementing his previous
work, The Colt Heritage: the official history of Colt
firearms, 1836-present ( LJ 11/1/79), this concentrates
on the individual models the company produced.
Interspersing his narrative with some biographical
information on Sam Colt and his company, Wilson
traces the development of the company line with more
than 400 photos. The fine engraving and rich textures
are shown to advantage in Latham's photographs. Every
model produced is described and illustrated, including
rare pieces. An invaluable appendix traces the complete
serial numbers and years of manufacture. Of interest to
collectors and students of the history of technology, this
is highly recommended. - George F. Scheck, Naval War

Author grew up on his father Frank Byler Clark's ranch
in Duval County. His father was raised in San Antonio
and at an early age drove a herd of cattle down Houston
Street. This is his story and that of other Clark family
members ranched in Victoria County and other parts of
the Brush Country around Realitos. One family member
spent ten years riding with Pancho Villa. This is a rich
history full of South Texas anecdotes about rangers,
cattle ranching, family struggles and daily life in not
only the Clark families but that of their neighbors.
