• Santa Anna ANS 1843 ANS 1843. 1p
  Santa Anna ANS 1843 ANS 1843. 1p 8.5 x 10.75 in. n.p. 13 January 1843. Signed Anto. Lopez Santa Anna. Appears to have been a cover letter accompanying another document. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was born in Veracruz in 1794 to a respected Spanish family. He joined the military at the age of 16 against his parents' wishes. He became involved in Mexican politics taking whatever side would benefit him the most. Santa Anna is best known north of the border for his attempt to rein in the rebel department of Texas. And although he may have won the Alamo he ultimately lost Texas. Santa Anna was occasionally on the ''wrong'' side in a political contest and found himself fleeing into exile. By the late 1860s he was living in Staten Island NY trying to raise funds to return and take back Mexico City. He is credited with bringing chicle to this country the basis for chewing gum. He failed however to profit from the stuff. He could only see it as a substitute for rubber. A bit more ''open thinking '' and he might have been able to fund his revolution. But the gentleman assigned to Santa Anna while he was in the United States Thomas Adams helped to found the chewing gum industry with Chiclets. Condition: Folds and minor toning especially upper left.

• A REPUBLIC OF TEXAS MANUSCRIPT, SAM
  A REPUBLIC OF TEXAS MANUSCRIPT, SAM HOUSTON, SIGNED, GI...A REPUBLIC OF TEXAS MANUSCRIPT, SAM HOUSTON, SIGNED, GIFTS THE SPUR OF SANTA ANA LOST IN THE BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO TO DOCTOR, JUNE 7, 1836, hand-inscribed ink on paper, from "Gen. Sam Houston, President of Texas," his location in New Orleans, Louisiana, he writes on the eve of his return to Texas, to Dr. Carr, of Assumption, Louisiana, "Dear Sir, Specifically to the request of a friend. I present you with a Mexican Spur taken from Genl. Santa Anna in the Battle of San Jacinto on the 21st April last - As you are an amateur of curiosities, this may be considered an addition to your collection and as such please take care of it until applied for, Very respectfully yours truly, Sam Houston," the return address on the exterior of the letter, "Genl. Sam Houston, President of Texas, N. Orleans 7th June - 1836 - Accompanied by one of the spur's of Santa Anna.," the interior with a note by Dr. Carr, "On the day of the date of this letter Genl. Houston left New Orleans on his return to Texas by the way of Red River in the Steam Boat Caspian at 5 o'clock P.M., S. Ino. Carr." 10" x 16" Note: The date of this letter predates Sam Houston's election as President of the Republic of Texas, which occurred on October 22, 1836. The present manuscript dated June 7th, 1836 signals the reader to consider that Sam Houston personally titled himself "President of Texas." Sam Houston was already the Commander and Chief of the Texian Army by this time. David G. Burnet, Interim President of Texas, was unfavored by Texans after the capture of General Santa Anna and the battle of San Jacinto, because he refused to execute the Mexican General, leaving the interim president overruled by the popular Houston. The resignation of Burnet anticipated by Houston is apparent herein. Sam Houston was injured during the battle of San Jacinto and as a result, was treated for his injuries in New Orleans at William Christy's home in New Orleans. The note inscribed by the doctor on the interior of the correspondence reveals that Sam Houston was returning to Texas by way of the Red River on the side wheel Steamboat Caspian, by 5 pm that evening. Provenance: Estate of Dr. Paul E. Schutts, Houston, Texas. Condition: Some mild tone and small tears, support added at crease partially covering return addressee name, but overall in good to very good condition, wear commensurate with age.

• TALL MEXICAN SANTOS ST. ANTHONY
  TALL MEXICAN SANTOS ST. ANTHONY PADUA W/ CHRIST CHILDLatin America, Mexico, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A large hand-carved and hand-painted wood and gesso statue of Saint Anthony of Padua holding a book with the Christ Child seated on top; his other hand probably once held a lily stalk, representing his purity. Both saint and child have glass eyes and eyelashes that give them a somewhat lifelike quality to their faces. St. Anthony was a Portuguese Franciscan priest and friar who died in Padua, Italy. Despite being born into a wealthy family, he was known for his intense devotion to the poor and sick, and holds the distinction of being canonized most quickly of all the saints. He is also known as the patron saint of lost things - objects, people, and souls. In art, he is often depicted with a book and the infant Jesus, based on a commonly told story of him reading a book and seeing the Christ Child's image in it. Size: 12" L x 12" W x 40.5" H (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 102.9 cm) Santos played an important role in bringing the Catholic Church to the New World with the Spanish colonists. These religious figures were hand-carved and often furnished with crowns, jewels, and other accessories, usually funded by religious devotees, and were used as icons to explain the major figures - Mary, Christ, and the saints - to new, indigenous converts. Likewise, they served as a connection to the Old World for Spanish colonists far from home. They became a folk-art tradition in the Spanish New World, from modern day Guatemala to as far north as New Mexico and Colorado. Many of them were lovingly cared for over the years, with repairs and paint added as they aged, and played an active part for a long time in the religious life of their communities.

  A FACSIMILE CADASTRAL MAP, "MAP OF BEXAR COUNTY, " EARL...A FACSIMILE CADASTRAL MAP, "Map of Bexar County, " EARLY 20TH CENTURY, a reproduction of the original lithograph on pale pink paper, showing San Antonio and the "Town Tract," Salado Creek, Rio Cibelo bordered by surrounding counties: Guadalupe, Comal, Kendall, Bandera. 22" x 25" Note: "The City Tract (called the Town Tract on later maps) was based on a survey conducted by John James Feb. 1-11, 1846, soon after the annexation of Texas by the United States on Dec. 29, 1845. William Corner’s San Antonio de Bexar: A Guide and History, published in 1890, explains the origin and importance of that survey: "The original City Grant from the King of Spain having been lost in the troublous revolutionary days, the city found it advisable to sue out its title.... Then followed the celebrated suit of the City versus Nat Lewis, senior, in which the City sues Nat Lewis and others for certain lands specified to be within the confines of the Original royal Grant to the people and inhabitants of the town of “San Fernando” (San Antonio). The Lower Courts first decided and established the boundaries of the Original Grant to the city (John James, Sr., surveying the same) and gave judgment for the city. The Supreme Court [of the Republic of Texas] affirmed the decision, and upon this rests the title to all lands situated within the 'Town Tract,' as it is now called." Special thank you and acknowledgement to research and commentary originally published by Mike Greenberg on this unusual subject matter.
