January 21, 1888
THE OLD CAPITOL, Columbia, Texas, Jan. 21, 1888 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 front page has: "BASE BALL" "Meeting Of the Texas League at Houston--The Teams Made Up".
Four pages, evenly toned, 19 1/4 by 12 1/4 inches, small binding holes and binding indents at the blank spine. Slightly fragile so it should be handled carefully.
