Sobre este artículo
With a fine provenance: "After a six-year life of intrigue in Spain, Bollaert journeyed to the Republic of Texas at the behest of his friend William Kennedy, who was subsequently appointed British consul at Galveston. He reached the coastal town in February 1842 and began to prepare a report for the British Admiralty. During the next two years he traveled extensively throughout Texas and wrote not only his formal report but also a very detailed journal, which he hoped to use someday as material for a commercial book. Troubled with fevers and the dimmed prospects of Britain's future in Texas (because of British opposition to annexation of Texas), he left Galveston on July 10, 1844" (Texas State Historical Association). Bollaert's papers are located at the Newberry in Chicago and the collection includes journals, notes, clippings, and maps. The private journals and diary provided the basis for his ' Personal Narrative of a Residence and Travels in the Republic of Texas, 1840-1844' which Bollaert planned to use as a manuscript for publication. Bollaert's journals include numerous encounters with Texas President's Houston and Lamar among other prominent military and political leaders. In the Newberry's own words, Bollaert's papers remain one of the most important sources of information on the frontier Republic and its people. The present volume was presumably deaccessioned due to its lack of manuscript annotation, but it is likely that Bollaert referred to this as source material before his travels to the Republic.
