A propos de cet article

Western half only of a map of the United States during the period of Texas independence. Backed with linen, quite worn but overall good. There is a large inset at the bottom left of Mexico, Texas, most of Central America and Mexican territory in the American West. This is a schoolroom map with no geographical features identified except by letters and numbers which are keyed to an accompanying book (not present here). The Republic of Texas is actually represented twice here, once on the main map (showing approximately the western 3/4 of Texas. While it is unfortunate that the eastern half of this map has long since been lost, this western portion is by far the more interesting half because of the huge upheavals going on in the American West at this time and over the succeeding twenty years.s.
