The Life of Don Manuel de Mier Y Teran
This is a new release of the original 1942 edition.
The Life of General Don Manuel de Mier Y Terán as it Affected Texas-Mexican Relations, 1821-1832
"The period of Mexican history, and incidentally, Texas history, to which General Manuel de Mier y Teran belongs, 1821-1832, was one of unrelieved turbulence in national politics. Mexico threw off the heavy yoke of Spanish domination in 1821. It began its independent career, after eleven years of revolution, under a regency, which lasted only a few months. In 1822, Iturbide was proclaimed Emperor, but before the end of the year he had dissolved the constituent congress and established a virtual dictatorship, with a congress, or junta, of hand-picked delegates. In December, 1822, Santa Anna took the lead in a revolution which resulted in the fall of the empire, the exile of Iturbide, and the ...
Terán and Texas
"One of the essentials to improved understanding and mutual respect of Anglo-Americans and Latin-Americans today is a sound knowledge of the Mexicans who had a hand in the administration of Texas prior to 1836, and the conditions under which they worked." Front cover.
Frontier Naturalist
This is a true story of discovery and discoverers in what was the northern frontier region of Mexico in the years before the Mexican War. In 1826, when the story begins, the region was claimed by both Mexico and the United States. Neither country knew much about the lands crossed by such rivers as the Guadalupe, Brazos, Nueces, Trinity, and Rio Grande. Jean Louis Berlandier, a French naturalist, was part of a team sent out by the Mexican Boundary Commission to explore the area. His role was to collect specimens of flora and fauna and to record detailed observations of the landscapes and peoples through which the exploring party traveled. His observations, including sketches and paintings of ...
Texas
Written in a narrative style, this comprehensive yet accessible survey of Texas history offers a balanced, scholarly presentation of all time periods and topics.From the beginning sections on geography and prehistoric people, to the concluding discussions on the start of the twenty-first century, this text successfully considers each era equally in terms of space and emphasis.
Texas Roots
In today’s Texas, with its growing urban populations and big-city lifestyles, it is worth remembering that in 1850 only 10 percent of Texans lived in towns with as many as 100 people. The rest—of many ethnic and racial groups—lived off the land, which was blessedly suited to a profitable variety of crops and livestock and also provided an abundance of wildlife free for the taking. In Texas Roots, C. Allan Jones reminds us that the economic wealth of modern Texas arose from its agricultural heritage, a rich mixture of practices and traditions including: · Caddo hunting, gathering, gardening, and farming · Irrigated agriculture at Spanish missions · Hispanic ranching · Slave-based pl...

Passionate Nation
"In Passionate Nation James L. Haley offers a comprehensive and definitive history of this singular and singularly American state, a history that explains how Texas became Texas, even before it became such a central national symbol for America. Haley peers through the lens of the extraordinary "ordinary" men and women who have streamed to Texas from its beginnings, and created it in their own contradictory, uncontrollable image."--BOOK JACKET.

Flowers, Guns, and Money
A fascinating historical account of a largely forgotten statesman, who pioneered a form of patriotism that left an indelible mark on the early United States. Joel Roberts Poinsett’s (1779–1851) brand of self-interested patriotism illuminates the paradoxes of the antebellum United States. He was a South Carolina investor and enslaver, a confidant of Andrew Jackson, and a secret agent in South America who fought surreptitiously in Chile’s War for Independence. He was an ambitious Congressman and Secretary of War who oversaw the ignominy of the Trail of Tears and orchestrated America’s longest and costliest war against Native Americans, yet also helped found the Smithsonian. In addition...
