A most significant book and map of Texas, being the 1836 second 'and better' edition of Amos Andrew Parker's Trip to the West and Texas. . This work is considered essential Texana, offering not only one of the earliest maps of the Republic of Texas, but also one of the first illustrations of the Lone Star flag of Texas, and one of the best early descriptions of the Texan Revolution. The map is significant, revealing early land grants throughout the new republic. It also bears an interesting manuscript dedication referencing the Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1920). Streeter Describes the Map Map historian Streeter included a description of this work in his important catalog (1172), This includes a rather pedestrian account of a sightseeing journey of a little over a month in December 1834, from the Sabine to the Colorado, then back to San Felipe and Brazoria. In the account are around forty pages with the caption heading, 'General View of Texas.' The 'Brief Sketch of the Texian War' in the title of the second edition is given in an appendix, which tells the story in popular form to the capture of Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Parker's entire journey, as outlined on the title page, was to gather information on the regions visited. Even though quite prosaic in style, it has for a little-known new country like Texas the interest that is present in any early contemporary account of travels. Parker, a graduate of the University of Vermont in 1813, was a New Hampshire lawyer and judge, and an occasional author. There is a brief account of him in the General Catalogue of the University of Vermont, Burlington, 1901. The Map The present edition bears a small but significant map of Texas closely based on the Bradford map of 1835. Although undated and unattributed, this map too is likely a Bradford, most likely an earlier state. The Bradford map from the atlas embraces slightly more territory to the south. Here Camargo, El Rincon, and Laguna de Santander, which are shown on the atlas map, do not appear, suggesting this is an earlier plate. Another variation, the atlas map features longitude from Washington, while this map bases longitude on the London Prime Meridian - suggesting again that this an earlier plate, possibly intended as a proof for the atlas, not used, then resurrected here. As Streeter notes, this map is rare, and appears in only a few examples of the second edition of Parker's narrative. In his own words, The map is a rare and variant feature of this second edition. One is fortunate to find a map in this book at all (only five copies of the book have appeared at auction going back to 1975, two lacked the map, and one had only a portion of the map), possibly indicating that the addition of a map to the second edition was an afterthought. The last copy at auction was at Sotheby's London on November 18, 2004 (Lot 358), where it fetched £6,200 ($11,532). The map is among the early maps of the Republic of Texas in a book, and it is based on Bradford's 1835 map of Texas published in his atlas (the first Texas map to appear in an atlas). We have seen three different maps with this book: (1) the Dearborn map described in Streeter's 1172A, (2) an 1836 issue of the important Mitchell-Young map of Texas (see Streeter 1178), and (3) the present map, which is copied very closely from the 1835 Bradford map of Texas. That map was thus a hastily added addendum to the second edition, the publisher incorporating what was obtainable and improvising where necessary. Of the three maps occasionally found in variations.…
