Item # 705527
January 28, 1888
THE OLD CAPITOL, Columbia, Texas, Jan. 28, 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.
Page 2 has: "BRAZORIA COUNTY" "Richest Dirt On Earth!" "Most Delightful Climate--SalubrIous & Healthful!" "God's Own Country..." and more.
Four pages, evenly toned, 19 1/4 by 12 1/4 inches, small binding holes and binding indents at the blank spine, 2 archival mends at margins. Slightly fragile, so it should be handled carefully.
