"In 1909, real estate developers E.O. Burton and A.H. Danforth embarked upon a land promotion scheme to take advantage of available land in Aransas Pass. They hired journalist W.H. Vernor to produce the "Aransas Pass Progress", which promoted Aransas Pass and the pending land sale across the country by U.S. Mail. Promoter A.D. Powers was hired to carefully handle the sale to avoid its being seen as a lottery by the postal department. Six thousand tickets, each representing a town lot, were sold for $100 each. Ticket holders were then to come to Aransas Pass to bid on lots; they were not to bid more than $100, and thus the tickets could be exchanged directly for lots. Nearly all 6,000 lots were sold during the auction sales in December 1909. All went well until postal inspectors who had secured tickets purposefully overbid, which muddled the sale and led to several legal battles. As a result of the great land lottery of 1909, Aransas Pass did see substantial growth. The money collected in overbids went into a trust that eventually served to fund public and school libraries."

• A RARE ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR ERA MAP,
  A RARE ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR ERA MAP, "PRESSLER'S MAP OF TH...A RARE ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR ERA MAP, "Pressler's Map of the State of Texas," THE STRAND, GALVESTON, 1862, hand colored engraving on paper, "Compiled from the Records of the General Land Office...by Chas. M. Pressler, Principal draftsman...," published by Jones Root & Co., signed in plate by Commissioner of the General Land Office of the State of Texas, Stephen Crosby (1808-1869), also with two sub maps, "Map of Original Land Districts," and "Map of the Old Colonies," and a "Table of Counties," with vignette showing the original 1852-1853 "State Capitol at Austin," framed with original leather front board. 46 1/2" x 51" Note: The American and Texan landscape teemed with uncertain energy in 1862. The North and South were in the midst of the American Civil War, and in September of the same year President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Charles W. Pressler, immigrated to Texas in 1846, establishing himself as a surveyor first with Jacob De Cordova. Pressler lead surveying expeditions for the active surveyor; later establishing a career with the General Land Office of the State of Texas in 1850, serving as Principal Draftsman from 1858-1865. It is during this time that Pressler and colleagues were commissioned to produce the present map. Argued as "unquestionably the finest map of Texas of its period," this map improved the State of Texas and the United States' understanding of Texas' geography. Parts of West Texas were still uncharted at this time in history. The map shows the actual and proposed network of railroad lines throughout Texas, indicating population and inhabited areas of the largely undeveloped West Texas territory. The map also details post offices, trails, and roads giving the viewer insight into land travel throughout the State of Texas during the mid 19th century. Outside of man-made transportation routes, the single most detailed part of this map is the extensive system of waterways that surround and run through Texas. The information regarding early colonies, at once, gives the viewer a deep history of the overall cultivation of the State. Indigenous territories are found near the Red River, the map lacking Greer county, which appears in later editions. Finally, an engraving of the State Capitol at Austin is so unusual to see; very few renderings of this building remain. The current State Capitol, which was built in the late 19th century now rests over the foundation of the original 1850s structure. The map was so well informed and drafted that not only the State of Texas, but also the United States Federal government consulted this map and later editions when resolving land disputes in the 19th century. An incredibly rare printing, this map captures the unsettled Texas landscape during the upheaval of the American Civil War. Provenance: Property from a Fortune 500 Energy Company, Houston, Texas. Condition: Professional restoration and repairs including overlaid mesh support, various inpainting, losses, tears, creases, left side with notable yellow toning and foxing spots, waves, bubbling, but overall in good condition, wear commensurate with age and use.

Pressler," J.H. Colton & Co, Publishers, J.M. Atwood, Engraver, "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1856 by J. De Cordova in the Clerk's Office of the United States District Court for the District of Texas," within a Gothic revival lozenge and quatrefoil chain border, all signatures in plate, with seal of The State of Texas and General Land Office, framed with the original gilt tooled brown leather book front and back cover boards. 36" x 33 1/2" Note: "The First Map of Texas Made by a Houstonian. Few can match the efforts of Jacob de Cordova in promoting land development in Texas...the de Cordova Map of Texas was one of the first examples of a map which relied on the records of the General Land Office. De Cordova was a land promoter from New Orleans, had been a printer in Philadelphia, settled in Houston and following a term in the State Legislature, remained there and established the Texas Herald." Furthermore, The Texas Handbook Online writes about Camp Cooper, "It was established by the Texas legislature in January 1856 and named for United States Army Adjutant General Samuel Cooper. Its mission was to protect the frontier and to monitor the nearby Comanche Indian reservation. The area had been a campsite for three companies of the Fifth Infantry in 1851... The post was founded by Col. Albert Sidney Johnston in January 1856 and became headquarters for four companies of the Second United States Cavalry under the command of Lt. Col. Robert E. Lee. This was Lee's first command of a fort. He remained in charge for fifteen months, from April 9, 1856, until July 22, 1857...Although the camp initially had adequate military stores, it was plagued by severe weather, insects, dust, and irregular supply trains. Rattlesnakes were constant visitors, and Lee kept one as a pet. When he left the camp in 1857 for San Antonio, Maj. George H. Thomas took over." Further research into the three areas drawn in pencil on this map is required to accurately identify what exactly these areas are and if they are any of the military encampments mentioned herein. The hand drawings and specific fort notation show a much needed organized supply route from the coast to these Texas frontier outposts.

Thomas, printed by Clark & Courts, Galveston, Texas, and published for Carter & Carter: Land, Loans & Stock. 23 1/2" x 25 1/4" Note: "...When the Texas & Pacific Railway began to push westward in 1880, several ranchers and businessmen, including Claiborne W. Merchant, John Merchant, John N. Simpson, John T. Berry, and S. L. Chalk, met with H. C. Whithers, the Texas & Pacific track and townsite locator, and arranged to have the railroad bypass Buffalo Gap, the current County Seat. They agreed that the route would traverse lands which the group owned in the northern part of the county, and that a new town would be established between Cedar and Big Elm creeks east of Catclaw Creek. C. W. Merchant apparently suggested the name Abilene, after the Kansas cattle town....The Texas and Pacific arrived at the site in January 1881 the railroad promoted Abilene as the "Future Great City of West Texas." J. Stoddard Johnston and other railroad officials platted the townsite. Several hundred people arrived in Abilene before the sale of town lots and began to establish businesses and a church. The lots were auctioned on March 15, 1881; in two days buyers purchased more than 300 lots, and Abilene was officially established. On January 2, 1883, the residents voted to incorporate, and in an election held on October 23, 1883, Abilene became the county seat. ..The map was published by Clarke & Courts, on what is believed to be the oldest lithographic printing press in the State of Texas. Clarke and Courts traces its roots to M. Strickland and Company, organized at Galveston by Miles Strickland in 1857. Strickland moved his printing press to Houston, but subsequently returned to Galveston. Robert Clarke became a partner in the firm in 1870. In 1877, George M. Courts purchased Strickland's interest. In 1877, the two printers brought the first lithograph press in the state to Galveston..." Courtesy: Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc.
