Map of Texas With Parts of the Adjoining States
The 1835 edition of Austin's 1830 Map of Texas, the first map to show on a large scale the beginnings of immigration into Texas from the United States. This later edition depicts additional land grants and presents a section of text stating the number of families to be located on each grant shown on the map.
Dinner to Colonel Austin
The text of Austin's speech to the citizens of Brazoria given at a dinner in his honor on September 8. Austin landed in Velasco on September 1, 1835, after more than two years in Mexico. In his speech a week later, Austin called for a convention to protest the centralist Mexican government's abrogation of the Constitution of 1824. He ended his address with this toast: "The Constitutional rights and the security of peace of Texas, they ought to be maintained, and jeopardized as they now are, they demand a general consultation of the people."
