Hardcover. Seventh Edition. Two 5" x 8" volumes in the publisher's dark brown cloth with gilt-titled spines, housed in a cloth clamshell box with gilt-lettered morocco spine labels. Illustrated with 5 plates and a large folding map of Texas. This edition is the scarcest and most desirable due to the addition of two chapters and the inclusion of part of Thomas Falconer's diary that filled in gaps in Kendall's narrative and offered his own perspective. First published in 1844, this firsthand account of a failed 1841 attempt by the Republic of Texas to establish control over Santa Fe, then part of Mexico, is "one of the most cockeyed ventures in American history" (Lavender, David. BENT'S FORT. 1958, page 199). As a journalist who joined the expedition, Kendall vividly recounts the hardships faced by the poorly organized group, including harsh terrain, betrayal, and eventual capture by Mexican forces. Kendall and the surviving Texans were released from imprisonment in 1842. GRAFF 2306; HOWES K75 b; RAINES page 132: "No Texas library complete without it"; STREETER 1515n; WAGNER-CAMP 110.
