Description
This is an important map of Texas during its time as a republic, showing the region as divided into land grants based on empresarios established by the Mexican government prior to the Texas Revolution. The map was published the same year Sam Houston became the President of the Republic of Texas and features some of the earliest Texan settlement, many of them with new names.
Though the date on the map suggest a publication of 1838, the map was actually published in 1841 as part of " A New Atlas of the World," by C.D. Strong out of Boston. Despite annual updates to his map, Bradford elected to save money and not legally register every state. While subtle difference can be found between each state of Bradford's map, the most important change found in the 1841 state is the extension of McMullen and McGlone's Grant to the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande). Prior maps of Texas as a republic limit the southern border to the Nueces River.
In 1828 John McMullen and James McGloin received a contract from Coahuila y Texas under the state colonization laws to settle 200 Irish families in an area located between the Nueces and Medina rivers. This spawned the town of St. Patrick and county (added in the 1841 state of Bradford's map) if San Patricio. This region was known to be filled with large heard of wild horses and was of great importance to both Mexicans and Texans. For years the Mexican government would dispute this concession and their reluctance to acknowledge the area a part of Texas would serve as one of the reasons for President James Polk to instigate the Mexican-American War.
