About This Item
San Antonio: Naylor, 1935. Second Printing. Hardcover. GOOD. 240pp, footnotes, black titles on mustard cloth. Six illustrated plates would in later editions be credited to Bob Wilson, (Publisher didnot include a frtpc. of Sam Houston as called for) Text paper is tanned around the margins, 2 pages have archival tape repair and 3 pages have margin chips; all due to the friable nature of the paper. Cloth showing wear at head and heel of the spine, old San Antonio bookplate. New custom archival mylar dust jacket to help preserve this rare Texas antiquity.
First of the Centennial series of Naylor books. Covers the revolutionary period from the fall of the Alamo to the Battle of San Jacinto relying on eye-witness accounts. In presenting Creed Taylor's, (captain during the Texas Revolution) personal reminiscences of the Texas Revolution, the writer has sought to edit and arrange the material in such a manner as to retain the spontaneity and vitality of the narrator's own colorful style, and yet relieve the reader from the confusion of repetitive and irrelevant matter. The accounts have been further clarified by the inclusion of corroborative information drawn from many reliable sources...THE PUBLISHERS
