Unsigned copy of the April 9, 1836, Niles register, 6.25 x 9.25, 16 pages, bearing a printed copy of the 1836 Texas Declaration of Independence, signed in type at the conclusion by all of the delegates, as well as a printed army order from Sam Houston, which reads, in part: “War is raging on the frontiers. Bejar is besieged by two thousand of the enemy…The citizens of Texas must rally to aid our army or it will perish. Let the citizens of the east march to the combat.” Scattered toning and foxing, and binding holes along fragile hinge, otherwise fine condition. Just one month earlier, Houston and 58 others had formally signed their declaration. The Robert Davis Collection, read more about Robert Davis. RR Auction COA.
