[PREFACE] "This volume is intended to include the major events in the history of Texas and the author believes that it presents to the high school student and to the general reader a comprehensive history of the commonwealth. The history of Texas is one of unusual interest, it having been successively a part of many nations. Its early history is of national and international importance. The fact that it was for nearly ten years a Republic and entered the American Union at its own volition adds to it a dignified interest not found in the history of any other State. [C. R. WHARTON, Houston, Texas, June 15th, 1935]. XX [Texas State Historical Association website] Clarence Ray Wharton, lawyer and historian, son of Frank B. and Ella (Ray) Wharton, was born in Tarrant County, Texas, on October 5, 1873. He attended the common schools of the county and taught school from 1888 to 1892. He studied law, was admitted to the bar around 1893, and in 1895 practiced law in Decatur with Charles V. Terrell. Wharton moved to Richmond in 1897 and to Houston, where he entered the law firm of Baker, Botts, Baker, and Lovett in 1901. On August 5, 1902, Wharton married Adele Spoonts of Fort Worth. They had four children. Wharton was made a full partner of the law firm in 1906 and became a prominent corporate attorney in Houston. He was counsel for Houston Lighting and Power Company, Houston Gas and Fuel Company, and Houston Electric Company. An interest in Texas history prompted him to become a writer. In addition to many articles, his published works included The Republic of Texas (1922), El Presidente (1924), San Jacinto, the Sixteenth Decisive Battle (1930), History of Texas (1935), History of Fort Bend County (1939), Satanta, the Great Chief of the Kiowas and His People (1935), L'Archeveque (1941), and Gail Borden, Pioneer (1941). In 1930 he wrote and edited a five-volume Texas history, Texas Under Many Flags. Wharton was the first chairman of the Houston Community Chest and was prominent in the American Red Cross during World War I. He was an active member of the Harris County Historical Society, of which he was vice president in 1923. He was an Episcopalian. He died in Houston on May 1, 1941, and was buried there in Glenwood Cemetery.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. El Presidente: A Sketch of the Life of General Santa Anna Clarence R. Wharton Gammel Edition, Austin, Texas, 1926 A scarce and handsome first-period Texas history imprint, El Presidente is Clarence R. Wharton s vivid and penetrating biographical study of Antonio López de Santa Anna, the most controversial figure of the Texas Revolution and early Mexican Republic. Issued in 1926 by the Gammel Book Company of Austin renowned for publishing foundational works of Texas history this edition is prized for both its scholarly importance and its limited early-20th-century press run. It is considered a second edition. Wharton presents Santa Anna not merely as the villain of popular legend, but as a complex political and military figure whose ambitions, contradictions, and shifting loyalties shaped the destinies of both Mexico and Texas. Drawing from period sources and contemporary historical scholarship, this work remains a highly respected interpretation of one of North America s most dramatic historical personalities. This copy is in excellent condition, especially for a nearly 100-year-old Texas history title. The binding is tight and square, with clean, bright boards and strong hinges. Pages are crisp and well-preserved, free from writing, stains, or foxing. The maroon cloth bound cover is in excellent condition with no overt signs of wear. A truly attractive example suitable for both a serious collector and an institutional-quality library. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a desirable Gammel Edition of an enduring Texas-Mexican historical classic rarely found in such fine condition. (BR) Shelf 69.
