Texas Revolutionary Map 1836
The definitive cartographic tool for understanding the historic events that transpired during the
turbulent years 1835 to 1836. This beautiful map details battle sites, roads and trails, hundreds of early settlements,
and an original view of the Republic of Texas in the inset. Printed on sturdy, thick, art-gallery quality stock. A
beautiful addition to any office, den or foyer: a gift to last a lifetime!
Spanish explorers crossed the Rio Grande River, and built the first of many missions in Texas
(near El Paso) in the late 1600s. After Mexico gained its independence from Spain, Texas became a part of Mexico.
Settlers arrived and conflicts over land arose. Subsequently the Texas Revolution began in 1835. After a series of
battles, including the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto, this land became the Republic of Texas, and
later, the 28th state in 1845. The Lone Star State is a proud, historic place, with a very close relationship with Mexico,
its culture, and its people.
Besides its enormous size (second only to Alaska), it's a significant agricultural and industrial power,
and as a separate country, would rank 10th in the world in overall wealth. Famed for the Alamo, cattle drives, cowboy boots
and hats, rodeos, oil and gas production, NASA, a high-tech industry second-to-none, the largest U.S capital city (Austin),
and so much more, it can truly be said that, "Texas...It's like a whole other country."

Texas Wagon Train Map
This map was commissioned by the Texas Wagon Train Association in 1986 to record their sojourn around the state.
The Pulaski Citizen, July 8, 1880 edition:
The is some talk of a Texas Wagon Train in August for points in Arkansas and Texas, giving all who may have friends in either
state, and others who may wish to see the country, a chance to go at a very low rate. Of the number contemplating going to Texas soon, is Mr. Frank
Chapman, the successor of Mr. William Hardeman, mail carrier on this route. We have slight attacks of Texas fever, which Pigeon Roost water usually
cures. The Texas-fever is raging in this section to a considerable extent. Mr. Charles Fraley and others are nearly ready to leave for the Lone Star
State. He is going overland and will be accompanied by six wagons and about 20 persons. Mr. John Wilkes and family, of Lynnville, left for Ozark,
Ark., on an emigrant ticket Wednesday. We regret very much to see so many of our young men going to Texas. Messrs. W. Hardy and Guy Rutledge intend
starting Monday, while G.A. Lee, Will and Robert Anderson have already gone. Mrs. James Wilson, who had a severe attack of paralysis slightly better.
Her son, Croett will return to Texas Monday night. A party of twenty or more all start for Texas from Cornersville Monday night.
A party of twenty five persons took the Texas Wagon Train at Pulaski Monday. They went by the L. & N. Railroad, procuring excursion
rates, from Mr. J.C. Roller, the emigration agent here. They go to near Dallas and Sherman. Mr. Nathan Anthony and family were the only ones from this
county. The others were from Lincoln and consisted of two families of Wrights, two of Lesters and one of Tuckers. On the same day a large party left
the Brick Church neighborhood, going via Lewisburg and Columbia, consisting of Mr. W.D. Fraley and family of seven, Mrs. N.E. Hardy and daughter, two
Mr. Crunks and Lee Ham. These go to Ellis county, Texas, and also went through Mr. Roller's agency.
