An enormous compendium of information on Mexican-U.S. relations from 1828-1838. Subjects include extradition of fugitives from Texas; correspondence concerning some Tennessee murderers who fled there; claims by U.S. citizens against Mexico for seizure of property on ships docked in Texas ports; military expeditions by U.S. citizens into Texas; U.S. efforts to remain neutral in Texas's War for Independence, despite overwhelming American support for Texas; disputes over Americans' westward migration into Texas and other Mexican territory; the murder of American prisoners at Tampico for allegedly taking up arms against Texas; Gaines's expedition to the Nacogdoches, breaching American neutrality in the Texas-Mexico war. This item can't be beat for a comprehensive study of U.S.-Mexico relations, and Texas Question frictions.
