INSCRIBED by Frantz at TSHA annual meeting 1990; inscribed by Cox at Austin Book and Paper Show 28 Sept 1991; both inscriptions to lifetime TSHA member Margaret Waring of Comanche, Texas. Reproductions and descriptions of early maps that lured explorers and colonists to Texas. Most are well sequestered in archives and unavailable to all but the most dedicated researchers. Historians Frantz and Cox have done an invaluable job in bringing these materials back into the public eye. (And finding a copy which is inscribed by BOTH authors, one of whom is long dead and the other now of advanced age, is akin to finding hens' teeth.). Inscribed by Author(s).
