About this Item

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.

Store Description

The books of an old bookie -- i.e., a book enthusiast and collector for many years. They have become TOO MANY, and it's time to go about selling them. My areas of specialisation are Texana and folklore, with smaller collections of history and children's fiction and non-fiction between 1930 and 1970.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

This is no Half Price Books nor Strand Bookstore, neither a Powell's nor a Library Buyers, rather one person selling books as a side hustle and a passion. When you deal with me, you deal with me, not an anonymous clerk. I presume sales to be final except in case of substantial condition discrepancy or lost and strayed shipments, and I'm not at home to buyer's remorse, so don't EVEN go there.

Shipping Terms

Books will be wrapped securely in unused newspaper stock and shipped in bubble-padded mailing envelopes. Additional bubble-wrap may be included for large, heavy, or specially fragile items. After multiple instances of the US Post Awful losing books for me (it averaged about one per month) I have changed to UPS for US domestic shipments. Unfortunately, this also means I CANNOT ship to Post Office box addresses any longer (the delivery trucks won't fit into the little boxes) and I have to charge more S&H than I used.

I send international shipments via the broker Global Post, at International First Class rates. This will of necessity delay delivery at times.
