Sobre este item
Dallas, 1878. Very good plus.. [49]-64pp. Folio. Gathered signatures of newsprint. Old central horizontal fold, old ink stain to upper margin of last few leaves. A very nice example. An interesting single issue of a short-lived Dallas monthly newspaper "Devoted to the Agricultural, Industrial, Immigration and Educational Interests of Texas." The publisher and editor of the work is listed as H.S. Hyatt, with the corresponding editor and solicitor named as S.H. Sayer. The newspaper is a thinly-veiled promotional for the advantages offered by Texas's cities, railways, climate, natural resources, agricultural conditions, and business environment. The first two pages are taken up with a lead article titled, "Why Come to Texas?" Other sections of the issue print a Dallas business directory, a city of Ennis business directory, an article on the lack of yellow fever in Texas, favorable provisions of the Texas state constitution attractive to emigrants and investors, and much more. The centerfold of the issue prints a large map of Texas, and two other maps printed in the issue feature railroad routes, including one for the Houston and Texas Central Railway. Interspersed throughout are advertisements for a variety of businesses relevant to settlers, farmers, and households. OCLC provides a small smattering of records for a handful of issues at just six institutions, namely Yale, the Clements Library, Dallas Public Library, SMU, UT Arlington, and UT Austin. Only two institutions, Yale and UT-Austin, confirm possession of the present issue, which may have been the final one published.
