Scope and Content Note	This collection begins with an original manuscript from the era of the Spanish conquest in Spanish America in 1546. Two hundred and fifty years later, there follows a manuscript papal document (Pius VI) with tables of the church's revenues and additional documentation from the government in Mexico. There is a Royal decree from Charles IV, and proclamations from Viceroys, Commandants and the Emperor Augustin Iturbide. The chronological progression illustrates Mexico's declaration of independence from Spain, a treaty between Spain and the U. S. regarding Texas, the fundamental law of Texas statehood as a part of Mexico, and numerous proclamations related to Texas' struggle for independence from Mexico. There is a collection of possible itineraries for General Woll's invasion of Texas dated 1844, and other evidence of the preparation for war over Texas a year prior to the outbreak of the Mexican-American War. The final exhibit is an engraving of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna in a cartouche made up of an elaborate list of titles and victories in battle.
