The Peters Colony of Texas: A History and Biographical Sketches of the Early Settlers
Austin, TX: The Texas State Historical Association, 1959. Pearce, Frances. Unstated. Hardcover. Very good + / Very good +. Item #35467
No statement of printing, very good + cloth hardcover shows slight shelf and trace wear including penciled name and date at page before title page, bit of foxing at page edges and couple of wrinkled page corners, in very good + dust jacket that shows heavy toning along spine and panel edges, and with a touch of edgewear including a closed tear. 473 pages with index, couple of illustrations and endpaper maps. Still an attractive copy of this look at the empresario grant made by the Republic of Texas that despite its lack of success "..initiated a stream of migration from the Ohio River Valley to North Texas which continued for several decades."
