2pp., small 4to. On two leaves of watermarked paper. Hurriedly-penned abbreviated memoranda. Although related, it is not clear whether the two leaves are sequential. The first is headed 'The Comanche tribe'. After a couple of lines Evans describes 'Crossing Arkansas R[iver] on the way we got to their Wigwam & smoked We were 3/4…arguing re buying of skins I had rep. rifle hairy. The door of wigwam lifted by a string. I lifted door saw the ground cov[ered] with horses feet. Did not stop but stepped out with my ri[fle] I found the wig[wam] comple[tely] surr[ounded] By me an old man app[eared] ch. I went to him & held out my hand he looked & suddenly took it Near him a man import[ant] I said non Aamericano sed Anglese'. The first page ends here. The second page begins: 'So he saw they were going on.' It concludes 'Then the old chief asked me to go back with them as their guest & wd have more time | but man in Am[erican] fort begged me not to accept. The chief took out of his belt at to keep in memory of the tribe - & at any time to bring it back myself or my son & receive the welcome of the tribe - Comanche' [second page ends here]. In 1899 Evans, through the influence of his father, secured a position ith the general manager of the Atlantic Transport Line in New York. He then travelled, according to a newspaper account, 'to the Far West, when he visited the whole coast line from Victoria, British Columbia, to San Diego in Southern California, afterwards returning, via New Orleans and Galveston and the south-east ports up to Washington, whe he had an interesting interview with the late President McKinley at the White House. A short visit in Eastern Canada completed this tour.' He returned to England in July 1900.

Contact seller5-star sellerAn exceptionally rare broadside set in the context of the devastation of the Comanche-Mexico wars, urging Chihuahuaenses to take up arms to fight invaders a scant few months before the ill-fated Texan Santa Fe expedition would cross their territory. Comanche raiders had been troubling northern Mexico for some years, but the size… and severity of these raids increased in the middle of the century. In 1840, the Council House Massacre (where Texas slaughtered thirty-five Comanche chiefs who had come to attend peace talks) precipitated some of the bloodiest fighting, and the state of Chihuahua was powerless to curb the resulting loss of life and livestock. This broadside, issued by Governor Francisco Garcia Conde on January 8, 1841, represents a desperate bid to rally his citizens to their own defense. He pleads, in part (our translation): "Four hundred savages, spewed forth from the Mogollón, have come to fill our measure of calamity; and what, in such circumstances, are the recourses of the Government? What are the methods the laws have given to its authorities to repress such violence and to heal such grievous wounds? I will say it frankly: they are insufficient for even a tepid defense of your interests.until soon will come the day when they are none. "This is the fate I wish to prevent and the motive behind this appeal. We have thought deeply about the disadvantages which afflict us and, considering the diverse opinions of the citizenry, it seems to me that according to the vast majority, the only plan which could remedy our ills puts its hopes on a system of constant warfare against the barbarians, and on a proper combined defense of the frontier, leaving it to the towns themselves to expense the indispensable supplies and raise sufficient forces." In shortthe Mexican government could not help, so each town would need to raise its own militia. These militia should be constantly vigilant for raiders and resist at all cost. Referring to the newly united efforts of the Comanche, Garcia Conde states that "they are reunited and formed into a single body with only one goal; we must form together also as a single mass animated by the same spirit, and fly into combat." He finally entreats his people to "contribute with your persons or your fortunes, however exhausted they may be." While Garcia Conde's plan did little to curtail Comanche raids, it had an indirect effect on a different invasion. The Republic of Texas launched the Santa Fe expedition in the summer of 1841 as a proto-annexation of New Mexico, expecting the outer provinces to be sympathetic to their cause. Nominally a commercial enterprise organized by expansionist president Mirabeau Lamar, a group of traders departed for Santa Fe with an outsized escort of 320 armed soldiers in June. Rather than finding encouragement and supplies, they were met with a dour and aggravated populous, armed and ready to resist foreign incursions. Even in New Mexico, who traded with the Comanche, the Texans did not find a receptive audiencetheir small force was quickly surrounded, captured without a fight, and marched two thousand miles to Vera Cruz, where they remained imprisoned for over a year before diplomatic efforts secured their return. The debacle deeply eroded President Lamar's credibility and more or less ended Texan pretensions to prolonged independence or expansion. A rare and noteworthy Mexican broadside, reflecting the existential threat posed by the Comanche along the border, and with ramifications for Texan independence. We locate only a single other copy of this document, in the Texas Collection at Baylor University. OCLC 1292745397. Light discoloration and wear to lower left corner, else fine.
