Description
Presentation copy inscribed to a San Jacinto Veteran
[Moses Austin Bryan, compiler]. Proceedings of the First Annual Meeting of the Texas Veteran Association, Held in Houston, May 20 and 21, 1874. Together with Report of the Executive Committee, and a list of veterans now living, and a list of deceased veterans, from 1828 to 1874. Houston: Printed at the Telegraph Office, 1874. 48pp. 8vo (5.8" x 8.75"), with original lilac wrappers. Inscribed on top wrapper: "James Harbour old Veteran Near Brenham Texas From Moses Austin Bryan Rec. Secy T.V.A." James Harbour is listed on page 11; he is 53 and served in the Battle of San Jacinto. He is one of hundreds of veterans listed that includes the first two classes of soldiers that served during the Texian Revolution and subsequent border skirmishes with Mexico, as well as those "Killed by Mexicans and Indians from 1828 and 1974."According to the Association's constitution included in the appendix, members were divided into three classes. The first class included members of the Old Three Hundred and soldiers, seamen, and citizens who could prove service in Texas between 1820 and October 15, 1836. The second class was made up of soldiers and sailors who could prove service between October 15, 1836, and November 1, 1837. The third class included those who had proof of service between November 1, 1837 and annexation in 1845. The exclusion of soldiers serving after 1845 resulted in natural attrition. The group disbanded in 1907.
A scarce printing, last appearing for auction in 2009 when a library copy sold for $900. From the Robert E. Davis Collection.
Condition: Bits of paper loss from chipping along spine and edges. Light foxing occurring in the first few pages, otherwise very clean. A few pages have creased corners.
