173pp. Modern brown three-quarter morocco and cloth, spine gilt. Titlepage tanned with some foxing; paper around imprint has been effaced, resulting in some small holes and the obscuring of the printer's name. Foxing. Else very good. This report provides a wealth of detail regarding the early days of the secession in Texas. Various reports describe in fascinating detail the handover of installations, weapons, and other military stores from Federal troops in San Antonio and other Texas locations - the wide range of "acquired" booty includes furniture, weapons, building materials, and cash. The report also details the meeting between Governor Sam Houston and the "Public Safety Committee," in which the governor was effectively forced from office. An invaluable resource for the turbulent five weeks spanning February 1861 in which the secession crisis came to a head. WINKLER 193. PARRISH & WILLINGHAM 4170. CRANDALL 2167.
