Description
Frederic B. Page: Prairiedom: Rambles and Scrambles in Texas or New Estrémadura. By a Suthron. (New York: Paine & Burgess, 1846). Second edition (first edition was published in New York the previous year). Twelvemo (7" x 4.25"). 166 pages. Engraved map: Map of Texas (5.75" x 3.5"). Contemporary brown calf neatly rebacked with a large portion of the original spine and the gilt spine label laid down. Small scuffs and bumps, marginal browning to preliminary and terminal leaves, moderate foxing, else a very good copy in a handsome binding. Clark, Old South III:221: "His tone is favorable." Graff 3159. Howes P9. Raines, p. 167.Streeter 1604n: "This is a pleasant account of the author's travels in Texas, for the most part a journey in the spring of 1839 from the Sabine by way of Nacogdoches, Houston, and Bastrop to San Antonio and return to Houston by way of Goliad and Texana, now Edna. It brings back to us now in charming fashion Texas of 1839." The map, which shows Texas east of about the 100 meridian west, is a rather primitive rendering. Austin and Houston are shown and the Texas Hill Country is labeled as the Guadalupe Mountains.Auction Info
