Binding: Library

Condition: New

The only successful European impresarios in mid-nineteenth century Mexican Texas—men authorized to bring immigrants to settle the vast spaces of Mexico's northern territories—were Irish. On their land grants, Irish settlers founded Refugio and San Patricio and went on to take active roles in the economic and political development of Texas.

Seller ID: mcin1800

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Good

Prior to the original appearance of this work in 1948, the land records for Indiana had never been published, copied, or indexed by name, and unless you knew the exact location of the land on which your ancestors settled, the records were impossible to use. So in 1948 professional genealogist Margaret R. Waters, author of Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Indiana, copied and published the records to enable researchers to determine if an ancestor did locate in Indiana, and if so, where when. The earliest land records of Indiana Territory go back to 1801, when a land office was established in Cin...

Both modern historians and early nineteenth-century observers have emphasized the wild and picturesque aspects of the Arkansas Territory, suggesting that the settlers here were more preoccupied with indolence or brawling than with economic progress.
