Book Description
Excerpt from A Twentieth Century History and Biographical Record of North and West Texas, Vol. 1 In a very vague and general way the land bordering the Gulf of Mexico became known to Europeans in the sixteenth century. By virtue of the discoveries Of Ponce de Leon and others all this country was claimed by Spain and was known by the name Florida, compris ing all the region westward from the present state Of that name to Mexico, and including the portion since called Texas, but which at that time was almost a terra incognita, without name, boundaries or attention.
