But without metallic treasures to tempt Spanish cupidity, and unknown to the colonizing nations on the North Atlantic, this region long remained unsettled. By mistake a company of Frenchmen under La Salle landed in 1685 on the Texan coast, and made a settlement, which four years later perished in blood. Next, moved by jealousy, came the Spaniards and occupied Texas by a system of presidios and missions till the triumph of the Mexican Revolution in 1821. Nothing remained of the efforts of France at colonizing Texas save the shadowy memory of a few great names like La Salle, St. Denis, and La Harpe. The chief impress of Spain upon Texas was in geographical names; and besides these, there was at the end of Spanish rule only feeble settlements around the presidios, and a few stately mission ruins to tell the story of the unavailing labors of the Franciscans. Retrogression had long set in before the coming of the Anglo- American. Austin's "Original Three Hundred" were the first to inaugurate permanent settlement. The descendants of the home-builders on the Atlantic and in the Mississippi valley were the first home-seekers in Texas. And it was they who builded and compacted the Republic of Texas, developing into orderly communities and uniting for defense against the encroachments of tjiranny. The struggle in Texas was between the Anglo-American and the Indo-Spaniard. Almost without exception, the raw troops who stormed San Antonio Ce Bexar, and who annihilated the Mexican army at San Jacinto, were Americans all, and sons not unworthy of the [V] vi Preface. sires of '76. And no truer oblation was ever offered to Libert}' than the blood of the Alamo Martj-rs and of the Victims of per- fidy on the Coleto. From those heroic times of the Republic have come down to us a corporal's guard of the Texas Veterans, with forms once proud and erect in the ranks of freedom, but now bent with age and infirmity. Surel}', Texas, created and ennobled by their sacrifices, can not do too much to honor the Veterans, and make pleasant their declining days. With the growing importance of Texas has come a desire for more accurate knowledge of its origin and history. Failures in our historical work have been due chiefly to un- scientific methods and inaccessibility of the earliest material. But the treasures of Americana relating to Texas are now com- ing to light, and the canons of history-writing are being scien- tifically taught in the University of Texas, and doubtless in our other educational institutions. In the netv epoch just at hand the historian of Texas will be expected to go over the whole ground of inquir}^ to state nothing except upon authority, and to be loyal to the truth, above man, party, or country. This Bibliography should be helpful to workers in this field, by pointing out the sources of information, and perhaps also by the critical notes. For its preparation, I have had exceptional advantages by virtue of my connection with the State Library, it having been part of my duties to collect historical data for Texas. With reference to its arrangement, I have regretted that I did not see Dr. Week's " Bibliographj^ of the Historical Literature of North Carolina" until near the end of my labors. Other defects I would fain excuse by pleading the difficulties inherent in all pioneer undertakings. It is not claimed that this work is complete in its list of books; but it is at least a beginning. The labor of its compilation has been to me a source of pleas- ure; and my gratification will be only increased should it tend to push investigation into the sources of Texan history. My acknowledgments are due to many persons; particularly Preface. to Dr. S. B. Weeks, of the Department of the Interior; to Mr. F. W. Hodge, of the Smithsonian Institution, for information and suggestions; to Judge R. S. Gould, Dr. G. B. Halsted, and Prof. Geo. P. Garrison, of the University of Texas, for valued courtesies; to E. T. Durable, State Geologist, Prof. Jacob Bidder, Principal of the German-American Academy, Julius Schutze, Editor Texas Vorwaerts, and H. G. Askew and Chas. Corner, of the Texas Railroad Commission, for various favors; to Dr. Swante Palm, Swedish Consul in Austin; A. C. De Cou, a cul- tured Canadian (now deceased), and John G. James, late Presi- dent Agricultural and Mechanical College, for access to their Texas collections and loan of books and documents, and to H. P. N. Gammel, Antiquarian Book Dealer, for practical information as to many Texas books and titles. J. B. Clark, A. B., Librarian of the University of Texas, and Eugene Digges, Esq., my successor in the State Library, have placed me under obliga- tions for special favors received while examining authorities.

The compiler begs leave to refer briefly to a few events of his life: Left college when a junior at Princeton, in 1858. in the crisis of 1860-Gl (following his father, Thos. A. Raines, and his elder brother, Rob't T. Raines), was a warm supporter of Sam Houston and the Union. When war came, believing with Stephen A. Doug- las, that in the last extremity, every man ought to fight for his own countrj'^, took up arms for Texas, and. as Texas joined the Confederacy, entered the Confederate service under Capt. (later Gen.) R. M. Gano. Was Countj^ Judge and ex officio County Superintendent of Public In- struction for Van Zandt county. 187G-78. and for Wood county, 1886-90. The present volume is the result of labors begun years before, but never systematized till after his four years service in the State Library. [viii] THE MATEEIALS OF EARLY TEXAN HISTORY. Barely thirty years had elapsed after the coming of Columbus before the islands and the western main, including the great empire of Montezuma, had submitted to the all-conquering arms of Spain. The Gulf of Mexico had been explored and its general out- lines mapped, the Mississippi river appearing on the charts under the name of El Rio Espiritu Santo. While the rage of conquest was at its highest, Panfilo de Nar- vaez, in 1526, sought and obtained authorit}^ as a requital for his losses in Mexico, to conquer and govern "the provinces of the main extending from Rio Palmas to the Cape of Forida." For this enterprise Narvaez provided five ships with 600 men. Among them were Alvar Nuiiez^ Cabega de Vaca, Capt. Andres Dorantes, and Alonzo del Castillo Maldonado, Father Juan Xuarez, and Juan Palos, layman, and three other Franciscans, The expedition sailed from San Lucar June 17, 1527. After various mishaps while wintering among the islands, Narvaez reached the coast of Florida, April 14, 1528, with five vessels, having on board 400 men and eighty horses. Two days later, in a bay called de la Cruz,* the governor landed and took formal possession of the country in the name of his sovereign. About the 1st of May Narvaez struck out into the interior with 300 men and forty horses, while the ships were ordered to proceed along the coast to the first good harbor, and there await his com- ing. The separation of the forces was final. In vain did the ships hover along the coast for more than a year afterwards. No tidings came of the gallant army last seen entering the ever- glades of Forida. *6enerally thought to be Tampa Bay, but Jno. Fiske, on the evidence of Sebastian Cabot's map, believes it was Apalache. [ix] X The Materials of Early Texan History. After a bewildering march of three months, the Spaniards re- turned to the sea. Not finding their ships, they built, at a place called Bahia de los Caballos,* five boats each twenty-two cubits in length. Into these the Spaniards, now reduced to 249 men, crowded, and set sail for Las Palmas Sept. 22, 1528. Seven days later the voj'agers passed through the channel between the mainland and an island, probabl}^ Santa Rosa. Afterwai'ds landing several times for water, they were as often repelled with loss b}' hostile Indians. About November 1, the}'' passed a great river, whose strong current bore their boats out to sea and fresh- ened the water of the briny ocean far from the shore. This was evidently the Mississippi. Pursuing the same west- erly course six days longer, the boats of Cabeea de Vacaand Do- ran tes were stranded on an island near an unknown coast. The island, estimated at five leagues in length and one-half league in breadth, and only two leagues distant from the mainland at the farthest point, was called b}^ the Spaniards, Malhado. Gal- veston Island, somewhat longer than this, otherwise suits the description. After five or six years servitude among savages on the island, Cabega, with an only companion, crossed over to the mainland, and proceeded down the coast, passing four large rivers, and stopping at a bay they supposed to be Espiritu Santo. Here, from some of his countrymen, Cabeea learned the fate of the other boats, to-wit: that one had been " upset at the confluence of the rivers," drowning four men; that one boat had landed lower down the coast, and the crew, being too weak to resist, were all killed by savages; and that the last, in which was Nar- vaez himself, with one or two companions, slipped its stone anchor during a norther and was driven to sea, and never heard of more. In the course of six years all the unfortunates, except nine, had, from various causes, perished. And four of these, Cabega de Vaca, Andres Dorantes, Alonzo del Castillo Maldonado, and Estevanico, a Barbary negro, plotted an escape to the Spanish settlements in Mexico. ♦Thought by Geo. W. Bancroft to be the harbor of St. Marks, The Materials of Early Texax History. xi In September, 1534, Cabega de Vaea and his friends, com- mending themselves to God, ran off from their Indian masters, and began their journey across the continent. Their course seems at first to have been westward; but after a few days travel, the}^ halted and rested eight months with the Avavares, one of the coast tribes. Resuming their journey when the prickly pears were scarcely ripe, they proceeded southwest, parallel with the gulf coast, till they crossed the Rio Grande* and came in sight of mountains.! Thence, on account of the hostility of the coast tribes, they turned t northward, ascending the Rio Grande along the plains at the base of the mountains up to the Conchos, and thence probably along the route conjectured by H. H. Bancroft to the ♦This stream was breast deep, aud wide as the Guadalquivir at Se- villa, which Buckingham Smith saj's he found to be 100 paces. It must have been the Eio Grande, as Mr. E. T. Dumble, the State Geologist, informs me there is no other river west of Espiritu Santo Bay whose normal waters are of that depth and width. t Called San Saba Mountains by B. Smith, evidently in Mexico. There are no mountains of that name in Texas. i" We took our course along the plain, near the mountains, which we believed not to be distant from the coast, where the people are all evil disposed, and we considered it preferable to travel inland; for those of the interior are of a better condition, aud treated us mildly, etc. . . . Moreover, we chose this course because, in traversing the country, we should learn many particulars of it, so that should God our Lord be pleased to take any of us thence, and lead us to the land of the Chris- tians, we might carry that information and news of it." — (Bucking- ham Smith's Trans. Cabeoas Belacion. edition 1871 .) The reasons for the turn northward when the travelers were beyond the Rio Grande and near the gulf, and but a few hundred miles distant from Panuco, seem satisfactory, but they never passed the 30th parallel of latitude. Whereas, according to Smith's first theory, Cabega began his journey towards the north pole, and went hundreds of miles in that direction before turning towards the center of the continent, making a detour of thousands of miles. H. H. Bancroft errs the same way in making the overland travelers begin their journey towards the north pole, though the starting place is rightly given as being near Espiritu Santo Bay, Texas. xii The Materials of Early Texan History. Rio Petatlan, on the Pacific slope. The wanderers reached San Miguel April 1, 1536, without seeing on their ten months con- tinuous journeying from sea to sea any trace of idolatry among the natives. Everywhere Cabega and his party were highly honored. The "Viceroy Mendoza and the Marquez del Valle welcomed them to the City of Mexico, which they entered in a kind of triumphal procession in the latter part of July. During their two months sojourn in the capital the wanderers made a map of their travels for the Viceroy and wrote a Letter to the Audiencia of Espanola, giving an account of the fate of the expedition and of their subsequent fortunes. In the Letter mention is made of sand hills on the Panuco side of Espiritu Santo Bay. As to the locality of the shipwreck of the Narvaez expedition, Malhado Island, in its relation to the Mississippi, is a determin- ing factor in the question. Malhado, fi-om its description and environments, must have been either modern Santa Rosa or Galveston Island. If Santa Rosa, and east of the Mississippi, then the great river whose currents drove the Spaniards' boats to sea and sweetened the ocean waters so far from the land must have been one of the petty gulf rivers of peninsular Florida! The Mississippi, on this theory, disappears entirely from the record, not having been passed at sea or described at its crossing elsewhere! A thing almost incredible, that this mighty stream, later described with such particularity hy all the chroniclers of the De Soto expedition, should have beeu crossed without special mention by Cabega! If Galveston was Malhado, then the great river five or six days eastward sail in open boats would reasonably be the Mississippi, and the bay westward down the coast supposed to be Espiritu Santo, would be the Texan bay of that name to-day, and the in- tervening rivers would be the Brazos, the Colorado, the Navi- dad, and Lavaca. The sand hills referred to in the statements of the overland travels in Mexico as being on the Panuco side of Espiritu Santo Bay would be the sand hills noted on the west side of Espiritu The Materials of Early Texan History. xiii Santo Bay by the United States Coast Survey* in 1859, and the high hills to the south would be the elevations near Corpus Christi Bay. Of course, in these conditions there is only a general corres- pondence with the record. Exact conformity in particulars, as the gulf region is now known, could not be expected under the circumstances, on any part of the known route. It only remains to add the evidence of physical geography. The country in which Cabega and his party ran off from their masters, and whence they finally began their ten months continu- ous travel to San Miguel, was a country of wide extended plains, making off northwardly from the sea, and over which roamed countless herds of buffalo, and a land where flourished the cactus and the mesquit. It is perhaps needless to say that these conditions were never true of the gulf coast east of the Mississippi, and that, with the exception of the buffalo range, recently extinct, they exist in full force to-day in Southwestern Texas. There was nothing which Cabega so greatly desired as to be governor himself of that Florida in which he had suffered so much. In September, 1537, he arrived at the Spanish Court, only to learn that De Soto had anticipated him in the appoint- ment. De Soto sought to have Cabega attend him as a subordi- nate; but no terms of agreement could be reached. These two *Report U. S. Coast Survey 1859, p. 325 : The northwest shore "of the Bay of San Antonio (which is the northern bend of Espiritu Santo Bay)" is the delta of the Gaudalupe, a low alluvial formation, scarcely raised above the level of the adjacent waters, and covered with a dense growth of cane-grass, jungle and forest trees. On the west shore the elevated prairie also comes to the bay in a blulT or bank of twenty feet, and is likewise dotted over with the houses of settlers, and with oak or hack- berry trees. The soil is fertile, the range for stock excellent, and the locality is said to be very healthy. At one place on this side a singular range of sand hills, known as the Sand Mounds, approaches the shore. The highest peak is about seventy-five feet above the bay. The mounds are covered with bushes and the valleys between them filled with trees, so that at a distance of five or six miles the whole presents the appear- ance of a forest of live oak or similar timber, forming a marked feature in that otherwise level prairie region. xiv The Materials of Early Texan History. remarkable men finally parted, one to go to Florida and his death, and the other to South America and disgrace. Before Cabeea's departure, however, he wrote a complete nar- rative of the Narvaez expedition, entitled "La relacion que dio Aluar nuiiez cabega de vaca de lo acaescido en las Indias en la armada donde yua por gouernador Paphilo de narbaez," etc., and published at Zamora in 1542. In 1555 a second edition appeared, in connection with another work, styled together, " La relacion y comentarios del gouer- nador Aluar nuiiez cabeca de vaca, de lo acaescido en las dos jornadas que hizo a las Indias." The '"Comentarios" was an account of Cabega's government of Rio de la Plata, and written by his secretary, Pero or Pedro Hernandez. So Cabeca, besides being the first European explorer of Texas, the first overland traveler across the continent, and the first to observe and describe the buffalo on the range, was also the first historian of Texas. The letter which Cabega wrote in 1536, in conjunction with Andres Dorantes, to the Audiencia of Espanola, and his book called " La relacion," etc., may be considered the first contribu- tion to Texan histor3^ The next entry into Texas was by Coronado in 1540-42. Pedro Casteiiada de Nagera is the principal historian of the Coronado expedition across the Texan panhandle at that time. His work has never been published, and we barely know it save through the French translation of Ternaux-Compans.* Included in this Ternaux-Compans publication is also a French translation of Jaramillo's account of the expedition, shorter but well written, with some interesting details. Two anonymous writers on the subject are also noted in the text immediately following Jaramillo. On the death of De Soto at the mouth of Red River in 1542, the army, under Muscooo or Moscoco, marched 150 leagues west- *The Bureau of American Ethnology has in press an elaborate me- moir on Coronado"s journey, with original documents bearing on the subject, together with other translations, by Geo. Parker VVinshlp. The Materials of Early Texan History. xv ward into Texas; the next year Muscoqo coasted with his men in seven brigantines, along its shores en route to New Spain. The whole story has three chroniclers, the Fidalgo De- luas or gentleman of Elvas, Biedma, and Garcilaso de la Vega, all noted in the text. The first is a loose, desultory statement, lacking in nearly all the essentials of historj^; the second is a mere compendium, too brief to yield much information; the third, though wriiten from materials gathered forty years later, is much the most satisfactory. There is a substantial agreement among these writers, though Garcilaso de la Vega puts De Soto's original force at about 900 men, or 300 more than the esti- mate of the other two. He also makes mention of Indians on the Texan coast, which the others do not. The narratives of the several Rio Grande expeditions which occasionally trod the soil of Texas from 1582-99, are recorded in various volumes of inedited documents of Pacheco, but are not accessible to the general reader, and what is worse, there are no French translations, or English versions besides Purchas. The leading authors, however, such as Espejo, Oiiate, Villagra, Padre Salmeron and others, are noted in their proper places in the text. Otermin and Escalante give an account of the origin of Isleta, showing that it was founded in 1682 as a refuge for friendly Indians during the Pueblo Rebellion.* Isleta is the oldest town in Texas, but there is no ancient authority whatever for the statement made in some late histories that it existed in 1540, and was visited by Coronado. J ouleV s JournalHistorique, Y>uh\ished in 1713, and the Margry Papers, lately brought to light, are the best original authorities on French colonization in Texas, though Le Clercq's ^'•Establisse- ment de la Foi" and Hennepin's ^'•Nouveau Voyage^'' embracing some of the same subject matter, appeared in 1691 and 1698 respectively. French's Historical Collection of Louisiana con- tains many valuable documents on La Salle's Texan colony, including an English version of Joutel, Tonty, Anastase Douay, etc. As to the Spanish colonization, the authorities came later, and *Mr. F. W. Hodge, of the Smithsonian Institution, kindly pointed out to the writer the authorities on the origin of Isleta, Texas. xvi The Materials of Early Texan History. are nearly all cited in Bancroft's Hist. Tex. and North Mex. States. I shall only refer here, among the principal books, to Cavo's ^'•Tres Siglos," with supplement by Bustamente, Villa Seilor y Sanchez's TJieatro Amen'cano, Revilla-Gigedo's Instruc- ciones, and De Page's Voyages autour du Monde.

In conclusion, the writer has tried to point out the true foun- dation of Texan history in relation to European colonization, a purpose which, so far as he knows, has not been previously at- tempted. If that has been accomplished, the work will be ap- preciated by Texans, and perhaps by students generally of American history.

It could not be enforced as to American emigrants, but it exasperated Americans and Texans alike. The newcomers, as immigrants after this time were known, finally be- came the controlling power in Texas, and precipitated the Revolution. Among their leaders were Travis, Archer, Rusk and Houston.

The statistical information on Texas was Almonte's Official Report io Santa Anna after extensive travel and observation in Texas in the year 1834. ''The statistics of Almonte," says Mr. Kennedy, "form the proud- est testimonial to the labors of those fearless and persevering spirits who first rendered the golden glebe of Texas tributary to the enjoy- ments of civilized man. and supply a conclusive answer to the charges brought against the Texaus by persons who. in the fervor of a philan- thropic enthusiasm in behalf of the Indian and the Xegro, are ready to sacrifice not only time and money, but the solemn obligations of truth and justice." Almonte noted one school in Department of Bexar supported by the municipality, and a subscription school near Brazoria, in Department of Brazos, and three common schools in Department of Xacogdoches. The wealthy planters sent their children to the schools of the United States. Only such parts of the "■ Noticia" were published as met the approval of Santa Anna.

Diplomatic correspondence as Mexican Minister to the United States with Mr. Upshur, U. S. Secretarj- of State, on the contingent incorporation of Texas into the Union. Nov, 3 to Dec. 1, 1843.

In which Almonte " declares by express orders of his government, that on sanction being given by the Executive of the Union to the incorporation of Texas into the United States, he will consider his mis- sion ended, seeing that, as the Secretarj^ of State will have learned, the Mexican Government is resolved to declare war so soon as it receives intimation of such an act." And when the annexation resolutions passed Congress and received the executive sanction. Almonte accord- ingly protested, and demanding his passports left Washington. This abrupt severance of official relations between Mexico and the United States, coupled with the Minister's protest and previous communica- tions, was virtually a declaration of war.

For one Southern member, if he should be here when proceedings tending to this issue should be precipitated, he should be found, and recommending to his coadjutors to be found, calm as a summer's morning, affording indication by no word or manner of any feeling of irritation, or other feeling than contempt for unparalleled and suicidal folly."

Volume I of this standard history of the United States, last edition, has been much changed to incorpor- ate the results of modern historical research as to the gulf region of the Union. It now appears that the Xarvaez expedition was wrecked on the Texan coast in 1528. and that Pineda discovered the Mississippi at its mouth, in 1519. /Bancroft, H. H. (1832).

The other matter of these vokimes, however, throws more or less light on Texas. In spite of his prejudices, Mr. B. has given us an excellent history of Texas, and Texas Bip.liogkaphy. 21 pointed out more than any other writer the sources of Texan history. In fact, tlie chief merit of his work is the exhaustive list of authorities cited in the footnotes. Were I restricted to a single book on Texas, I would, without hesitation, take Bancroft's History; for in that T would learn something of most other writers on Texas, as well as the facts of our history.

The above is the exact title and colophon of the first edition of Ca- bega's Belacion. This narrative of the N"arvaez Expedition and its shipwreck on the Texan coast makes the first published book relating to Texas. A won- derful story, but not incredible. In fact, Cabega's Belacion bears the earmarks of truth throughout. Next edition published in connection with a work writ- ten by Pedro Fernandez rdating to Cabega de Vaca and en- titled " La relacion y comentarios delgouernador Aluar nunezca- bega de vaca, de lo acaescido en las dos jornadas que hizo a las Indias.

This last edition is much the better work, embodying, as it does, the translator's matured judgment on all the phases of the Xarvaez Expe- dition.

Before this publication Coronado's expedition was made known to the world only through the short narratives published by Ramusio (in appendix of this volume), and slight notices by Herrera, Venegas and Gomara. See preface of the French editor. An interesting and somewhat systematic presentation of the subject under three heads: " I. The army and outgoing expedition. II. The description of the country seen, with the manners and cus- toms of the inhabitants. III. The return march, and the reasons for it.-' The dates, however, are frequently wrong, being one year ahead gen- erally, as 154] for 1540, etc. Reference is made to Cabega de Vaca and his traveling companions.

He passed through Texas on horseback, with several companions, in 1767, from iSTatchitoches, La., Tia Nacogdoches and San Antonio de Bexar, to the Rio Grande. The observations of the author on the manners and customs of the people are instructive and sometimes amusing. The Missions, then on the decline^ are thus described, with their peculiar methods of converting the heathen : '• Four Missions, consisting of a couple of Franciscans each. In the houses of these missionaries, savages who have been taken ia war, and on whom the fathers have conferred marriage and baptism, receive their maintenance and education. . . . Each hovTse contains seven or eight men, with their wives and children, who are employed under the direction of these monks in certain articles of industry, the profits of which are applied to the emolument of the Mission." In recruiting from the savages " they use the thong, and lace them like wild horses. As soon as a savage has been caught, he is bound hand and foot and carried to the residence of a missionary, who makes it his business, by threats, persuasion, severe fasting, gentleness, last of Texas Bibliography. 67 all by marriage, to tame and civilize the manners of his prisoner.

A careful perusal of these letters will indicate the difficulties of Fan- nin's position and how he nobly met them. Fannin, trained at West Point, was an accomplished soldier. Fannin received Houston's order to fall back on Victoria, March 15. and proceeded at once to obey by collecting his scattered troops. On the retreat Fannin was attacked by a siiperior number of Mexicans, and after a gallant fight compelled to surrender his army as prisoners of war. In a few days followed the inhuman massacre which excited the horror of the civilized world. It is to Fannin's credit that he delayed his retreat awhile to save AVard and his men at Eefugio. And this was not contrary to the spirit of Houston's order. If it be said that he dawdled on the retreat, even when begun, that may be admitted; but some allowance should be made to a man who had led a military force 80 Texas Bibliography. 1000 miles to the defense of Texas, who had won the first pitched bat- tle, and wlio was only slow in learning to show his back to a barbarous enemy.

The world gave him credit for passing his waking hours in the study of trente et quar- ante and sept a lever, but I had been in communication with too many persons of late, and had seen too much passing before my eyes to be ig- norant that the little place was the rendezvous where a much deeper came than faro or rouge et noir was being played.

Who the Fidalgo Deluas was is not yet known, though supposed by some to have been Alvaro Fernandez, one of De Soto"s soldiers. A rather confused narrative of the De Soto expedition, from which it is hard to get a definite idea of the route. After the death of De Soto at mouth of Ked lliver, May, 1542, Muscoco attempted with his army to reach Xew Spain by a march overland through the present territory of Texas. After going 150 leagues westward to the Daycao river, on the border of the deserts, the Spaniards saw nothing but starvation ahead, and returned to the Mississippi. This river was perhaps the Colorado, or possibly the Pecos. Cabeea de Vaca was frequently referred to by the bewildered Spaniards.

Kendall's best work is undoubtedly " The Narrative of the Santa Fe Expedition."

A plain and unvarnished statement of the origin and establishment of the University of Texas: "based on the facts and records," it may be accepted as entirely trustworthy. While the origin of the Uni- versity is due to President Lamar, the credit of its final establishment justly belongs to Gov. Eoberts and his administration. Senator John C. Buchanan, of Wood county, introduced the bill establishing the Uni- versity, which, with some few amendments, became the law. Among its strong supporters were Senators R. M. Wynne, John M. Duncan, John Young Gooch and A. W. Terrell. At the special session of the Legislature, April, 1882, Senator Buchanan, as Chairman of the Com- mittee on Education, reported Senate bills 20 and 22 by substitute, which finally passed, giving the University 2,000,000 acres of land, and placing it upon a firm footing.

Admiral Bauclin''s French fleet, returning from the reduction of Vera Cruz, touched at Velasco, and thence sailed to Galveston. The admiral, with two attendants, Chaucart and the author, landed at Velasco, May 5, and proceeded under the conduct of Gen. Thos. Jefferson Green to Col. Wharton's, four leagues distant. The next morning, Lieut. Clen- denning, of the Texan army, set out with the French party, in Col. Groce's carriage, to Houston, where they all arrived on the Sth. After several days of festivities at the Texan capital with President Lamar and Dr. Ashbel iSmith, the distinguished visitors proceeded by steam- boat down Buffalo Bayou and rejoined the fleet at Galveston.
