colored and many illustrated) pp., numerous text engravings. [With prospectus]:
The Alamo City Guide. San Antonio, Texas. Being a Historical Sketch of the
Ancient City of the Alamo, and Business Review; with Notes of Present
Advantages, together with a Complete Guide to All the Prominent Points of
Interest about the City, and a Compilation of Facts of Value to Visitors and
Residents. N.p., n.d. [New York: Appleton, 1882 (copyright on title verso dated
1882 with rights to Stephen Gould]. 4 pp. 2 items, 8vo, unbound. The prospectus
is very fine. The book lacks the upper wrapper, frontispiece, and title page. Old
tape repairs and reinforcements on p. [3] and spine. Recto of p. [3] browned and
chipped at lower right (small loss of text). Otherwise, the interior is very fine.
Newspaper clippings laid in and heavy contemporary revisions in ink. A unique
survival of a book very rare in commerce.
First edition of an early guide to San Antonio, preceded by Mooney &
Morrison’s General Directory of the City of San Antonio (San Antonio, 1877) and
Goff’s San Antonio and Its Environs (Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1881). The author
in his preface states: “He who writes the history of San Antonio writes the history
of Texas, and although many writers have dealt with separate events, no one has
yet presented a complete history of the city.” CBC 352 (calling for 142 pp. in
error). By the mid-1800s San Antonio was called “The Alamo City,” when the
enduring moniker began to appear in book titles.
The book appears to be the author’s copy, copiously marked for revision,
including such notes as instructions to rewrite certain sections, correct typos,
cancel ads, etc. One note on p. 67 next to the wood-engraved text illustration of
Wolfson & Co.’s Store states: “This cut is not straight.” Apparently, however, no
other edition ever appeared. Thus, the corrections are revisions for a projected
second edition and likely survive only in the present copy.
The many text-engravings are almost all buildings and scenes. In at least one
instance (p. 111, “Crockett Block”) the architect is identified in the image as Alfred
Giles. On p. 28 is a full-page composite view of the missions done by Bushnell
after the work of noted early Texas artist Robert Jenkins Onderdonk. The
engravings are not noted in Dr. Mavis P. Kelsey in Engraved Prints of Texas,
1554-1900.
Early military encounters during the Texas Revolution are covered, and the
account of the battle of the Alamo is well reviewed, as would be expected. He
states that Crockett survived the battle and was then executed. Todd Hansen in
The Alamo Reader notes on p. 312-313 (1.10.2.6) that this work contains the first
published record of Brigidio Guerrero, who claimed he was present at the battle
of the Alamo and survived. “His story is that he was one of the soldiers under
Colonel Travis, and continued to fight until the enemy had entered the enclosure.
Seeing that further resistance was useless he entered the room in which were the
women, and was concealed by them under some bedding, where he remained
until night, and then made his escape. Although he has steadfastly maintained
the truth of this story since 1843, his veracity is doubted by many of the early
inhabitants. At any rate, the evidence he offered the court was so strong that he
was placed on the pension list, and to the present writing has received aid from
the State” (pp. 21-22 in Gould’s book).
Much interesting and unusual information is found in this book. For instance,
The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink states that by the 1880s
references to enchiladas were beginning to make their way into regional books
across the Southwest and refers to Gould’s book as describing enchiladas as one
of the dishes being served in the Alamo Plaza (p. 207).

Handbook of Texas Online: Mary Ann Adams Maverick:
Mary Maverick (1818-1898), pioneer and diarist, whose published
memoirs chronicle her pioneer experiences in Texas, was born on
March 16, 1818, in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, the daughter of
William Lewis and Agatha Strother (Lewis) Adams. Adams was a
lawyer. Mary grew up on the family plantation three miles north of
Tuscaloosa, where she received schooling. On August 4, 1836, at her
home, she married Samuel Augustus Maverick, who had
participated in the Texas Revolution. After extended visits to
relatives in Alabama and South Carolina, the couple moved to Texas
at the beginning of 1838.
The Mavericks searched for years for a permanent home along
the unsettled Texas frontier. They located first in San Antonio,
where Sam wished to spend his time speculating in West Texas
land; then, during the Runaway of ‘42, an exodus of families from
San Antonio at the news of approaching Mexican soldiers under
Adrián Woll, they set up a home on the Colorado River near
Gonzales. They moved to Decrows (Decros) Point on Matagorda
Bay in 1844 and remained there until October 1847, when they
returned to San Antonio.
Most of Mary Maverick’s energies during these early years in
Texas went into the raising of her family. She bore ten children in
twenty-one years; four died of illness before they reached the age of
eight, leading their mother to seek solace in the spiritualism and
alternative medical treatment so popular in mid-nineteenth-century
America. As her surviving children grew up, she became
increasingly active in the public sphere. During the Civil War, when
she had four sons in the Confederate Army, she was active in San
Antonio relief efforts. She also devoted much of her time to church
work. A devout Episcopalian, she was instrumental in establishing
and developing St. Mark’s Church in San Antonio and served as
president of the Ladies’ Parish Aid Society for over twenty years.
After her husband’s death in 1870, as San Antonio grew and
thrived, Mary Maverick made efforts to see that the pioneer past
was not forgotten. She was a prominent member of the San Antonio
Historical Society and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. She
helped promote the annual Battle of Flowers celebration, and she
served as president of the Alamo Monument Association for many
years, during which she kept before the public the need for
restoration of the historic site. Her watercolor sketch of the
mission, completed during her first residence in San Antonio, is
often referred to by historians, and in 1889 she wrote a brief
account of the fall of the Alamo.
Mary had kept diaries of her frontier experiences, and in 1880 she
shaped them into memoirs. Fifteen years later, with the help of her
son George Madison Maverick, she published a limited number of
copies. The memoirs have since been reprinted and provide a vivid
picture of life on the Texas frontier. Mary Maverick’s work,
particularly her eyewitness account of the Council House Fight in
San Antonio in 1840, has often been cited in studies of Texas
pioneer life. She died on February 24, 1898, and was buried beside
her husband in City Cemetery No. 1, San Antonio.

According to the preface, the prime mover behind this project was Mrs. O. L.
Shipman (see BTB 184 and Herd 2062 & 2063). This superb guidebook contains
descriptive text and excellent photogravures, including Gage Hotel, Rancho Valle
la Cienega (“the first dude ranch ever established in Texas”), Brite Ranch, Jones
Ranch, Fort Stockton, Alpine, Presidio-Ojinaga, and other landmarks of the
region. A photogravure is a photographic image produced from an engraving
plate. The process, which was introduced in the mid-nineteenth century, is rarely
used today due to the very high cost. Photogravure prints have the subtlety of a
photograph and the art quality of a lithograph.

Not in CBC. Reprint of the text of Randado. “This year, with the theme of the
annual meeting built around the subject of horses, Tom Lea of El Paso has
generously consented to the reprinting of the text of Randado, a booklet for
which he supplied text and pictures to Carl Hertzog in 1941. Only twenty-five
copies of Randado were offered for sale and thus it was extremely scarce even at
the moment of its birth. In the intervening years Tom Lea has won acclaim both
as an artist and as a writer, but copies of Randado remained as fugitive as the
physical remains of the horse ranch which first bore the name. Now the text may
have circulation as part of the Association’s annual meeting program of 1954.
Copies may be preserved through many decades to delight those who believe in
the Texas tradition and those who thrill to the story of horses” (H. Bailey Carroll
in his preface to this reprinting).

868. [EAGLE PASS, TEXAS]. An eclectic collection of documents, photographs,
and printed materials related to Eagle Pass. A highlight of the collection is a
voluminous file of late-nineteenth-century business papers of L. de Bona, an
Eagle Pass merchant. Included is an extensive file of photographs assembled over
years of scouting and research by Ben Pingenot. Printed materials on the history,
architecture, military presence in Eagle Pass, and area development round out
the collection. Examples of materials in the collection include:
DE BONA, L. (Eagle Pass Merchant). Approximately 500 business letters,
invoices, and other business papers addressed to L. De Bona at Eagle Pass. Dates
range from 1889 to 1895, but virtually all are from 1889. The correspondence
embraces the usual business concerns—orders, receipt and non-receipt of goods,
payment and non-payment of invoices, threats of legal action, etc. A voluminous
record of a year’s business in Eagle Pass. De Bona dealt in foodstuffs, tobacco,
coffee, and similar commodities. Correspondents are mostly from Texas and
nearby Mexico, but a few are from as far away as the Atlantic seaboard.
EAGLE PASS FLOOD. Portfolio of 21 photographs of the Eagle Pass flood of June
1954, when the normally knee deep Rio Grande rose past the 45 foot mark. The
pictures range from small snapshots to large format professional photographs. A
few are stamped on the reverse “Rojas, Eagle Pass, Texas.”
EAGLE PASS VIEWS. A gathering of almost 100 postcards of Eagle Pass: homes,
street views, business, office, and bank buildings, schools, an Armistice Day
Parade float, International Bridge, Post Office and Custom House, “Mexican
Generals” [Pancho Villa and companions], Mexican side of the border, U.S. Army
troops and encampments, etc. Mostly black-and-white, a few hand-colored, and
some early printed color. The cards are largely unused, used cards bear
postmarks from the first three decades of the twentieth century. The group
includes a fan-fold card “Views of National Guard on the Rio Grande” with 18
photographs (dated 1917) and a “Souvenir Folder of Eagle Pass” with 10
photographs.
