About This Item
Pamphlet dbd, 131 pp. Minor soiling on title page, and lower left corner missing small piece, not affecting text. Also, upper right corner with a slight chip. Otherwise very nice copy. This pamphlet actually includes a series of speeches on the Annexation of Texas that took place between June 16th and July 7th 1838. Additionally, the preface of this work provides some interesting background on the political dynamics of this issue. For many, this was a delicate subject at the time, which was complicated by the imprisonment of the Mexican President by the Texans, and a state of war between Texas and Mexico. At least early on, the US policy on annexing Texas was to be pursued through indirect means. Recognizing Texas as an independent state was part of this approach.
