From the Preface: "The region with which we are concerned in this book, however, was hardly more than an explorer's paradise until that day in 1803 when Thomas Jefferson put his name to a document which transferred unknown and unnumbered millions of acres to the United States under the general description of the Louisiana Purchase. For the purpose of this bibliography, the area undertaken is defined on the north art the 40th parallel, on the west by the Rio Grande, on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, and on the east by the Mississippi. It is thus devoted to the southern portions of the Louisiana Purchase, including the great area of subsequent dispute, Texas.".
