David Ing, softcover, 2-staple binding, illustrations, 1975 [an erratum slip tucked into the booklet indicates that the cover and title page should read ?March 1976?]. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block is in fine condition with no tears, marks, or dog-ears. There is no bookplate nor signature of a prior owner, but "Texas Historical Commission" is stamped inside the front cover. This is not a public library book nor a remainder, but the word "Library" is printed at the top of the front cover. The wraps are in good condition (some discoloration on front and back covers). 9 x 6, 21 pages, 5 ounces XX [From the introduction] During February 1974, the Historic Sites and Restoration Branch of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department conducted limited archaeological testing at the possible site of Fort Lipantitlan on the Nueces River in northwestern Nueces County, Texas. Since 1936 the site has been marked by a Texas Centennial Commission monument and since 1937 has been maintained as a State Park. Fort Lipantitlan, near the early Texas town of San Patricio, was established by order of Manuel de Mier y Teran as a measure to carry out the provisions of the law of April 6, 1830. The law, initiated by Lucas Alamán, Mexican Minister of Relations, was designed to stop the flood of emigration from the United States to Mexico. [Wikipedia] Fort Lipantitlán (meaning "Lipan land") was conceived about 1825 by José M. J. Carbajal. The site, now in northwestern Nueces County, was that of camping grounds of the Lipan Apache Indians on the west bank of the Nueces River about three miles upstream from the old town of San Patricio, which is on the east side of the river. At the site a number of ancient trails beaten by game animals, Indians, and explorers crossed. An old presidio was also reportedly there as early as 1734 but had completely vanished. Mexican general Manuel de Mier y Terán, acting on the orders to restrict Anglo immigration into Texas, commissioned the fort and placed Capt. Enrique Villareal in command. He served until 1835, when he was relieved by Capt. Nicolás Rodríguez. Author John Linn wrote, "The fort was a simple embankment of earth, lined within by fence-rails to hold the dirt in place, and would have answered tolerably well, perhaps, for a second-rate hog pen." After its construction it was garrisoned with from eighty to 120 men; however, many times the complement was much less. Each of the four parapets was designed for one cannon, but it is doubtful if the fort was ever fully armed. Evidently several buildings and at least one barracks were built surrounding the embankments. James McGloin, in his account of the battle of Lipantitlán (November 4, 1835), makes reference to burning several houses, including a barracks.
