JAMES C. AND ROBERT SIDNEY MARTIN MARTIN

Publication: Texas State Historical Association, 1999, Austin

First edition thus. Originally published in 1981 under the title, CROSSROADS OF EMPIRE: PRINTED MAPS OF TEXAS AND THE SOUTHWEST, 1513-1900. Oblong quarto. Two-tone quarter leather and cloth, tan endpapers, x, 174 pp., preface to the reprint edition, preface, introduction, illustrated, sources cited, index. The plates of the first edition were destroyed, so it was impossible to reprint the book exactly as it was. The original edition was used to prepare new text plates. The fifty maps collected for this volume represent many of the most historically significant maps of Texas and the Southwest from 1513 to 1900. Fine in dust jacket. An elusive title.
