September 16, 1819
BOSTON COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, Sept. 16, 1819 The top of the front page has: "Declaration of the Independence of Texas" which is a document signed in type by: James Long, President of the Supreme Council (see), which includes in part: "...The citizens of Texas would have proved themselves unworthy of the age in which they lived--unworthy of their ancestry--of the kindred of the Republics of the American Continent...Spurning the fetters of colonial vassalage, disdaining to submit to the most atrocious despotism that ever disgraced the annals of Europe--they have resolved, under the blessing of God, to be free...they have prepared themselves unshrinkingly to meet & firmly to sustain, any conflict in which this declaration may involve them..." with more.
Four pages, bit of foxing, nice condition.
