and III:27, whole no. 132, May 19, 1838). Houston: Three issues,

The second permanent newspaper in Texas, the Telegraph and Texas Register was a faithful mirror of the events, the thoughts, and the attitudes of people. Eventually, it became the official organ of the Republic of Texas and an influential molder of public opinion, ultimately acting as the unofficial link between the young government and the people it served.
The paper's premier issue was published on October 10, 1835, just nine days after the first shot of the Texas Revolution, and chronicled the momentous events of that conflict for its subscribers. Its pages were filled with news of murders, fatal encounters with Indians and Mexicans, deaths, marriages, and perhaps most importantly, the paper served as the official publisher of important laws and decrees passed by the fledgling government. For this reason, the Register has become an essential source to the understanding of the early history of Texas and the identity of the people who lived there.
Offered here are three early issues, containing the rules and regulations relating to the Republic of Texas Army and Navy - fundamental to any study of Texas military history.
