American settlers were pouring across the vaguely defined border between Mexico's northernmost province and the United States, along with a host of Indian nations driven off their lands by American expansionism. Terán's mission was to assess the political situation in Texas while establishing its boundary with the United States. Highly qualified for these tasks as a soldier, scientist, and intellectual, he wrote perhaps the most perceptive account of Texas' people, politics, natural resources, and future prospects during the critical decade of the 1820s. This book contains the full text of Terán's diary?which has never before been published?edited and annotated by Jack Jackson and translated into English by John Wheat. The introduction and epilogue place the diary in historical context, revealing the significant role that Terán played in setting Mexican policy for Texas between 1828 and 1832. 410 0$aJack and Doris Smothers series in Texas history, life, and culture ;$vno. 2. 606 $aGenerals$zMexico$vDiaries 607 $aTexas$xDescription and travel 607 $aTexas$xHistory$yTo 1846 615 0$aGenerals 676 $a976.4/03 700 $aMier y Teran$b Manuel de$01814286 701 $aJackson$b Jack$f1941-2006.$01814287 701 $aCheatham$b Scooter$f1945-$01814288 701 $aMarshall$b Lynn$f1953-$01814289 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960196903321 996 $aTexas by Teran$94368033 997 $aUNINA
