pp. + 13 inserted leaves of ads (some colored and many illustrated) pp., numerous text engravings. [With prospectus]: The Alamo City Guide. San Antonio, Texas. Being a Historical Sketch of
the Ancient City of the Alamo, and Business Review; with Notes of Present Advantages, together
with a Complete Guide to All the Prominent Points of Interest about the City, and a Compilation of
Facts of Value to Visitors and Residents. N.p., n.d. [New York: Appleton, 1882 (copyright on title
verso dated 1882 with rights to Stephen Gould]. 4 pp. 2 items, 8vo, unbound. The prospectus is
very fine. The book lacks the upper wrapper, frontispiece, and title page. Old tape repairs and
reinforcements on p. [3] and spine. Recto of p. [3] browned and chipped at lower right (small loss
of text). Otherwise, the interior is very fine. Newspaper clippings laid in and heavy contemporary revisions in ink. A unique survival of a book very rare in commerce.
First edition of an early guide to San Antonio, preceded by Mooney & Morrison’s General
Directory of the City of San Antonio (San Antonio, 1877) and Goff ’s San Antonio and Its Environs
(Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1881). The author in his preface states: “He who writes the history of
San Antonio writes the history of Texas, and although many writers have dealt with separate
events, no one has yet presented a complete history of the city.” CBC 352 (calling for 142 pp. in
error). By the mid-1800s San Antonio was called “The Alamo City,” when the enduring moniker
began to appear in book titles.
The book appears to be the author’s copy, copiously marked for revision, including such notes
as instructions to rewrite certain sections, correct typos, cancel ads, etc. One note on p. 67 next
to the wood-engraved text illustration of Wolfson & Co.’s Store states: “This cut is not straight.”
Apparently, however, no other edition ever appeared. Thus, the corrections are revisions for a
projected second edition and likely survive only in the present copy.
The many text-engravings are almost all buildings and scenes. In at least one instance (p. 111,
“Crockett Block”) the architect is identified in the image as Alfred Giles. On p. 28 is a full-page
composite view of the missions done by Bushnell after the work of noted early Texas artist Robert Jenkins Onderdonk. The engravings are not noted in Dr. Mavis P. Kelsey in Engraved Prints
of Texas, 1554-1900.
Early military encounters during the Texas Revolution are covered, and the account of the
battle of the Alamo is well reviewed, as would be expected. He states that Crockett survived the
battle and was then executed. Todd Hansen in The Alamo Reader notes on p. 312-313 (1.10.2.6)
that this work contains the first published record of Brigidio Guerrero, who claimed he was
present at the battle of the Alamo and survived. “His story is that he was one of the soldiers
under Colonel Travis, and continued to fight until the enemy had entered the enclosure. Seeing
that further resistance was useless he entered the room in which were the women, and was concealed by them under some bedding, where he remained until night, and then made his escape.
Although he has steadfastly maintained the truth of this story since 1843, his veracity is doubted
by many of the early inhabitants. At any rate, the evidence he offered the court was so strong that
he was placed on the pension list, and to the present writing has received aid from the State” (pp.
21-22 in Gould’s book).
Much interesting and unusual information is found in this book. For instance, The Oxford
Companion to American Food and Drink states that by the 1880s references to enchiladas were
beginning to make their way into regional books across the Southwest and refers to Gould’s
book as describing enchiladas as one of the dishes being served in the Alamo Plaza (p. 207).

Handbook of Texas Online: Mary Ann Adams Maverick:
Mary Maverick (1818-1898), pioneer and diarist, whose published memoirs chronicle her
pioneer experiences in Texas, was born on March 16, 1818, in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, the daughter of William Lewis and Agatha Strother (Lewis) Adams. Adams was a
lawyer. Mary grew up on the family plantation three miles north of Tuscaloosa, where she
received schooling. On August 4, 1836, at her home, she married Samuel Augustus Maverick, who had participated in the Texas Revolution. After extended visits to relatives in
Alabama and South Carolina, the couple moved to Texas at the beginning of 1838.
The Mavericks searched for years for a permanent home along the unsettled Texas frontier. They located first in San Antonio, where Sam wished to spend his time speculating in
West Texas land; then, during the Runaway of ‘42, an exodus of families from San Antonio
at the news of approaching Mexican soldiers under Adrián Woll, they set up a home on the
Colorado River near Gonzales. They moved to Decrows (Decros) Point on Matagorda Bay
in 1844 and remained there until October 1847, when they returned to San Antonio.
Most of Mary Maverick’s energies during these early years in Texas went into the raising
of her family. She bore ten children in twenty-one years; four died of illness before they
reached the age of eight, leading their mother to seek solace in the spiritualism and alternative medical treatment so popular in mid-nineteenth-century America. As her surviving children grew up, she became increasingly active in the public sphere. During the Civil
War, when she had four sons in the Confederate Army, she was active in San Antonio relief
efforts. She also devoted much of her time to church work. A devout Episcopalian, she was
instrumental in establishing and developing St. Mark’s Church in San Antonio and served
as president of the Ladies’ Parish Aid Society for over twenty years.
After her husband’s death in 1870, as San Antonio grew and thrived, Mary Maverick
made efforts to see that the pioneer past was not forgotten. She was a prominent member
of the San Antonio Historical Society and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. She
helped promote the annual Battle of Flowers celebration, and she served as president of the
Alamo Monument Association for many years, during which she kept before the public
the need for restoration of the historic site. Her watercolor sketch of the mission, completed during her first residence in San Antonio, is often referred to by historians, and in
1889 she wrote a brief account of the fall of the Alamo.

Item 145
Mary had kept diaries of her frontier experiences, and in 1880 she shaped them into
memoirs. Fifteen years later, with the help of her son George Madison Maverick, she published a limited number of copies. The memoirs have since been reprinted and provide a
vivid picture of life on the Texas frontier. Mary Maverick’s work, particularly her eyewitness account of the Council House Fight in San Antonio in 1840, has often been cited in
studies of Texas pioneer life. She died on February 24, 1898, and was buried beside her
husband in City Cemetery No. 1, San Antonio.

First edition. CBC 647, 2600, 3771. Dobie, Big Bend Bibliography, p. 6. According to the preface, the prime mover behind this project was Mrs. O. L. Shipman (see BTB 184 and Herd 2062 &
2063). This superb guidebook contains descriptive text and excellent photogravures, including
Gage Hotel, Rancho Valle la Cienega (“the first dude ranch ever established in Texas”), Brite
Ranch, Jones Ranch, Fort Stockton, Alpine, Presidio-Ojinaga, and other landmarks of the region. A photogravure is a photographic image produced from an engraving plate. The process,
which was introduced in the mid-nineteenth century, is rarely used today due to the very high
cost. Photogravure prints have the subtlety of a photograph and the art quality of a lithograph.

built around the subject of horses, Tom Lea of El Paso has generously consented to the reprinting
of the text of Randado, a booklet for which he supplied text and pictures to Carl Hertzog in 1941.
Only twenty-five copies of Randado were offered for sale and thus it was extremely scarce even at
the moment of its birth. In the intervening years Tom Lea has won acclaim both as an artist and
as a writer, but copies of Randado remained as fugitive as the physical remains of the horse ranch
which first bore the name. Now the text may have circulation as part of the Association’s annual
meeting program of 1954. Copies may be preserved through many decades to delight those who
believe in the Texas tradition and those who thrill to the story of horses” (H. Bailey Carroll in his

868. [EAGLE PASS, TEXAS]. An eclectic collection of documents, photographs, and printed
materials related to Eagle Pass. A highlight of the collection is a voluminous file of late-nineteenth-century business papers of L. de Bona, an Eagle Pass merchant. Included is an extensive
file of photographs assembled over years of scouting and research by Ben Pingenot. Printed materials on the history, architecture, military presence in Eagle Pass, and area development round
out the collection. Examples of materials in the collection include:
DE BONA, L. (Eagle Pass Merchant). Approximately 500 business letters, invoices, and other
business papers addressed to L. De Bona at Eagle Pass. Dates range from 1889 to 1895, but virtually all are from 1889. The correspondence embraces the usual business concerns—orders,
receipt and non-receipt of goods, payment and non-payment of invoices, threats of legal action,
etc. A voluminous record of a year’s business in Eagle Pass. De Bona dealt in foodstuffs, tobacco,
coffee, and similar commodities. Correspondents are mostly from Texas and nearby Mexico, but
a few are from as far away as the Atlantic seaboard.
EAGLE PASS FLOOD. Portfolio of 21 photographs of the Eagle Pass flood of June 1954, when
the normally knee deep Rio Grande rose past the 45 foot mark. The pictures range from small
snapshots to large format professional photographs. A few are stamped on the reverse “Rojas,
Eagle Pass, Texas.”
EAGLE PASS VIEWS. A gathering of almost 100 postcards of Eagle Pass: homes, street views,
business, office, and bank buildings, schools, an Armistice Day Parade float, International
Bridge, Post Office and Custom House, “Mexican Generals” [Pancho Villa and companions],
Mexican side of the border, U.S. Army troops and encampments, etc. Mostly black-and-white,
a few hand-colored, and some early printed color. The cards are largely unused, used cards bear
postmarks from the first three decades of the twentieth century. The group includes a fan-fold
card “Views of National Guard on the Rio Grande” with 18 photographs (dated 1917) and a “Souvenir Folder of Eagle Pass” with 10 photographs.
