Descripción

19pp. Original printed wrappers. Wrappers a bit chipped, two soft vertical creases throughout, rear wrapper partially split along spine. Mild toning to text, but clean. Still, a good plus copy. The scarce first printing of this important tract, which saw two more editions - each expanded in length - later in the year, one printed in New York, the other in Austin. An exceedingly optimistic bit of Texas boosterism, with facts and figures on all aspects of the state: railroads, agriculture, economics, ranching, coal, geography, and more. William W. Lang was, according to the advertisement on the inside front wrapper of the present work, the President of the South- Western Immigration Company. HOWES L74, "aa." ADAMS HERD 1305 ("rare"). RAINES, p.137. GRAFF 2388 (3rd ed). N° de ref. del artículo WRCAM55509
