THE OLD CAPITOL, Columbia, Texas, June 23, 1888
* Very rare Southwest publication
Yes, Columbia--now known as West Columbia--was the first formal capital of Texas, established in 1836. A quite rare title which existed for less than 2 years. Only one institution has a substantial holding of this title and its file is not complete.
The content is primarily concerning Texas, with a wealth of ads as well.
Included as well is the single sheet, broadside "Supplement To The 'Old Capitol' " which is printed on the front side only.
Four pages, 19 1/4 by 12 1/4 inches, masthead, small binding holes at the blank spine, some evidence of an older archival repair near the top, good condition. Fragile so it should be handled carefully.
