This is a valuable contribution to general history, and especially to the history of the Uniteed States. The past of Texas is here brought down and covers a period of 161 years—the greatest prominence being given to the first half of the 19th century. Several familiar names figure in the work, respecting whom, in connection with Texas, the reader will naturally desire to learn what is here told. This is one of the most authentic and valuable books, in connection with the general affairs of Texas, that can be found; in which nothing is stated upon individual responsibility—everything in it is sustained by the official documents. This is volume one out of two.

Excerpt from History of Texas, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its First Settlement in 1685 to Its Annexation to the United States in 1846 Circumstances alone have postponed to these latter days the development of the vast resources of Texas. Galveston, her principal harbor - situated about four hundred miles from New Orleans, seven hundred from Vera Cruz, and eight hun dred from Cuba - affords her a commercial outlet sufficient for her growing purposes. When her interior shall be sup plied with railroad facilities - and in no country can they be more cheaply built she will have nothing further to desire.

Excerpt from History of Texas, Vol. 1: Fort Worth and the Texas Northwest Edition For some years before his death in 1884 Colonel Frank W. Johnson occupied himself in collecting material for and writing a comprehensive history of Texas down to annexation. He left his manuscripts to several "literary executors," of whom Judge A. W. Terrell was the last to survive. In August of 1912 the American Historical Society of Chicago asked me to write for them a history of Texas. I was unable to undertake the task and suggested that they publish Johnson's manuscript with editorial additions which would bring it down to date and give the results of research since Johnson's time. They accepted the suggestion and Judge Terrell welcomed the opportunity to publish the hook and consented to write a sketch of Johnson as an introduction. His sudden death two months later prevented his carrying out this intention. On examination I found Johnson's work of value chiefly for the period from 1820 to 1836. His plan was to make the hook a documentary history, letting the original documents, so far as possible, carry the narrative. Some of the documents that he used had already been printed in Kennedy, Foote and Yoakum, and since his death some additional ones have appeared in John Henry Brown's "History of Texas;" but some have never been published. The idea of a documentary history of this period is a good one, for the reason that the colonization of Texas by emigrants from the United States, and the subsequent revolution from Mexico, have generally been misrepresented as deliberate moves in a conspiracy of southern slaveholders to wrest Texas from Mexico and annex it to the United States. No denial of this charge can he so effective as the contemporary documents themselves, which go far toward revealing the thoughts and feelings of the settlers. For this reason I have frequently added documents to which Johnson did not have access. These additions as well as occasional paragraphs and chapters which I have found it necessary to insert, are indicated in footnotes. The chapters on the period since annexation are written by Mr. E. W. Winkler of the State Library. As indicated on the title page, the work comprises, in addition to the general history of Texas, an addendum of economic and local data covering all the county divisions of the state, and also a collection of biographical articles on families and individual Texans. The county sketches, the manuscript of which, prepared by other writers, I have read for general historical facts, form a brief compendium of the historical and economic growth of each of these civil divisions of Texas, which number nearly two hundred and fifty. The material was collected largely from older publications and reliable statistical sources. At the request of the authors I have read also the manuscript of several of the biographical sketches.
