1st Edition. Good. A few points of surface abrasion. Some discoloration to margins. Size 12.5 x 15.5 Inches. A rare 1845 / 1846 example of the C. S. Williams / J. H. Young / S. A. Mitchell map of Texas, published in the final days of the Republic of Texas just as Texas was preparing to join the United States. Coverage includes Texas at its fullest extent, reaching from Santa Fe and the Rio Grande del Norte to the Sabin River and extending as far north as the Arkansas River (plus a stovepipe encompassing the Green Mountains not fully illustrated). Northwestern Texas is incorporated via an inset in the lower left. Republic of Texas The Republic of Texas was a short-lived nation-state established in March of 1836 when it seceded from Mexico. Following the independence of Mexico from Spain, the American Stephen Fuller Austin led a group of 300 Empresarios to settle Texas, near Austin, where they received a grant from the Mexican government. As more Americans moved to Texas, resentment and strife began to build between the American settlers and Mexican authorities. This and other factors ultimately led to the Texan Revolution in 1835 and the declaration of Texan independence in 1836. Texas remained an independent republic until it joined the United States ten years later in 1846. The Republic of Texas Borders The borders of the Republic of Texas were in dispute from the earliest days of the Texan Revolution. The Republic-claimed borders followed the Treaties of Velasco, as settled between the newly created Texas Republic and Mexican leader, Antonio López de Santa Anna. The eastern boundary followed the 1819 Adams-Onís Treaty between the United States and Spain, which established the Sabine River as the eastern boundary of Spanish Texas and western boundary of the Missouri Territory. The Republic's southern and western boundary with Mexico was more nuanced. Texas claimed the Rio Grande del Norte as its western and southernmost border, while Mexico argued for a boundary much further east at the Nueces River. When Texas was annexed into the United States, the agreement followed the Republic-claimed boundary, thus absorbing Mexican-claimed territory as far west as Santa Fe. This escalated already existing tensions between the United States, the former Republic of Texas, and Mexico, ultimately triggering the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). The boundary here, as befits a map issued in the United States, follows the boundaries of Texas claimed by the Republic and annexed by the United States. Publication History and Census This is the second state of the first edition of J. H. Young, S. A. Mitchell, and C. S. Williams' 1845 map of Texas. The first state has the 1845 date under the title. The second state is updated with an 1846 date, and the imprint moved to center, but the plate is otherwise unchanged. Engraved by James H. Young in 1845, this map features the elegant borderwork added by Carey and Hart after their takeover of Tanner's Universal Atlas . In the same year, the plates were acquired by S. A. Mitchell, who issued several variants of the map for the first editions of his own historic atlas, this being the first. The map would soon be significantly updated yet again with new counties and Mitchell's own strapwork border late in 1846. References: Rumsey 0545.039, 4835.045. OCLC 26892589.…
