NOTE THAT SINCE THE BOOK WEIGHS OVER ONE POUND, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.XX This edition is actually a combination of two works published in France in 1819: Hartmann and Millard?s LE TEXAS, OU NOTICE HISTORIQUE SUR LE CHAMP D'ASILE and an unknown author?s L'HÉROINE DU TEXAS, ?a fictionalized version of the love story of two real colonists. Although it was probably written in Paris, L'HÉROINE may be the first novel set in Texas.? [From the Texas State Historical Association, Handbook of Texas]: Although Champ d'Asile, a colony of Bonapartist refugees founded on the Trinity River in 1818, endured barely six months, its impact on the future of Texas was strong. The concern aroused among United States and Spanish diplomats over this intrusion into disputed territory caused two immediate results. United States pressure forced pirate Jean Laffite and his men, who had assisted the French colonists, to leave Galveston. And French presence at Champ d'Asile precipitated the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, which eliminated the Neutral Ground agreement and established the Sabine River as the Louisiana-Texas boundary and the border between the United States and New Spain. The body of thought, art, and literature evoked in Paris around Champ d'Asile also had important long-term effects on Texas. Bourbon Spain still ruled Mexico in 1818, and the Spanish army marched against the colony. In Restoration France, therefore, artists and the liberal press could represent the failure of Champ d'Asile as a Bourbon attack against the remains of France's imperial glory. A mythic Champ d'Asile stirred French attachment to Texas, intermittently rekindled by journalists, which two decades later resulted in France's becoming the first European power to recognize the Republic of Texas. Champ d'Asile, the Bonapartist refugees, and Laffite the pirate persist as themes in French literature.…

Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Slipcased. First edition thus. 180 pages, 1 leaf : color frontispiece ; plates ; 25 cm. ; green full cloth with dulled gilt spine lettering ; slipcased. UNCUT Facsimile reprint of the original 1937 Book Club of Texas edition. Jenkins BTB 85b: "Of the four accounts by contemporaries, Thomas W. Streeter calls this one 'an indispensable source and by far the best of the group.' Besides giving an eyewitness account of one of the most fascinating events in Texas history, it includes much valuable information on Texas during a period that still remains historically clouded." The book comprises two books published in Paris in the mid-1800s; one documented the Texas settlement of French nationals who, fleeing Napoleon's France, settled in east Texas. The other book was a romance depicting a couple within that settlement. Jenkins, in Basic Texas Books, states that "this is the best contemporary account of the ill-fated colony of Napoleonic refugees in Texas." Jenkins BTB 85-Bk.…

Soft cover. 1st Edition. 8vo., (8 4/8 x 5 2/8 inches). Half-title. Folding engraved view-plan of Le Champ d'Asile (title-page creased, some light spotting, edges a bit frayed). Original blue vinegar marbled paper wrappers covered by contemporary brown paper, title in manuscript on the front cover and spine (chipped at edges with minor loss); preserved in a moderd cloth clamshell box. First edition of an "indispensable source and by far the best" of the four earliest accounts (one fictional) of the short-lived Bonapartist colony of Champ d'Asile, established and dispersed within six months in 1819. Conceived by the exiled Napoleonic general Charles F.A. Lallemand, ostensibly as a place for defeated Napoleonic veterans to begin new lives (but in fact with a hazy military agenda, cf. Streeter, Bibliography of Texas, I, pp. 58-59), the illegal settlement was established on land in the disputed border area between Louisiana and Texas which the United States and Spain, desperate to avoid an armed confrontation, had finally declared a "Neutral Ground" in 1806. Spanish troops were soon dispatched to evict the settlers, while US pressure forced another French colony, under the pirate Jean Lafitte, to leave Galveston. By 1819 the Adams-Onis Treaty finally abolished the neutral zone, establishing the Sabine River as the border between New Spain and the United States. Meanwhile the starving Champ d'Asile settlers had been forced to retreat to New Orléans. Thus the Champ d'Asile colony precipitated a diplomatic resolution of a potentially inflammatory border dispute. Its mark on popular literature and art in France were equally far-reaching. During its brief existence, and although it at no point included more than 100 settlers and in all may have numbered 160 (including 4 women and 4 children, according to the list of "Cohorts" on pp. 51-57), the Champ d'Asile inflamed the imaginations of the French and encouraged nostalgia for the empire. Soon after their return, ex-colonists began publishing accounts of their travails (in part to elicit charitable support), and songs, engravings and lithographs mushroomed; images of the Champ d'Asile soon appeared on wallpaper and on labels to liqueur bottles. The theme remained persistent in French literature throughout the 19th century and even resurfaced in a novel of the 1980s. Of the four full-length books, including the fictionalized 'L'Héroïne du Texas', published in 1819-1820, the present account "is the only one. to give a brief but more or less consecutive account of the founding of the colony, the life there, the retreat to Galveston, and the dispersal of the colonists to the four winds" (Streeter). Dedicated to the subscribers to a charitable fund for the refugee colonists, it consists of the separate diaries of Hartmann and Millard, a list of the colonists, and Lallemand's deceptively peaceful manifesto (pp. 44-48), with a folding plate showing the buildings and layout of Champ d'Asile. The anonymous authors of both 'L'Héroïne' and the 1820 'Le Champ d'Asile au Texas' freely plagiarized Hartmann and Millard's narrative. Rare, especially in original wrappers.

This is the primary source book for the history of the ill-fated effort of a group of Napoleonic veterans to establish a colony in Texas. The French group, under Gen. C.F.A. Lallemand, landed at Galveston in January 1818 and attempted to establish a colony on the Trinity River. The effort failed that summer, and the remaining starving colonists retreated to New Orleans. Despite its short life, the colony was the center of an important episode in the maneuvering between Spain, the United States, and the not yet independent state of Mexico, for control of Texas. The French settlers dreamed of establishing a new Napoleonic empire in the New World, and with more support they might have succeeded. This is one of four contemporary French books on the Champ d'Asile colony, and Streeter calls it "an indispensable source and by far the best of the group." It consists of the diaries of Hartmann and Millard, a list of colonists, and Lallemand's proclamation, as well as a folding plate showing the layout of the colony. Some copies, including this one, are signed by the authors on the verso of the half title, designating an authorized edition. This copy is signed by Hartmann only.
