The life of Stephen F. Austin, founder of Texas, 1793-1836 : a chapter of the Westward movement of the Anglo-American people

Descripción

ix, xv, 551 pages maps, portraits 24 cm. ; full navy cloth with gilt lettering ; dj with few edge tears in mylar. Based on exhaustive analysis of the voluminous collection of Austin's papers in the University of Texas archives, this work is one of the finest scholarly biographies ever published in America. No other book has had as much influence on Texas historiography, and few have directed contemporary thinking about the American frontier movement to such a wide extent. Although the book in no way impugns the motives of Austin, his colonists, or officials of the United States government, it lends some substance to the argument that, in its annexation of Texas, the United States acted as an imperialistic aggressor, provocateur of the Mexican War, and territorial thief. This edition is a reprint of the 1925 original. N° de ref. del artículo 002385
