Auction Details

In our October 2022 Premier Auction, Lewis & Grant is proud to present a once-in-a-lifetime
sale of historical artifacts and collectibles, many of which have been featured in numerous
historical exhibitions and institutions.
Headlining the sale are selections from the General Samuel Houston Collection, victor of the
Battle of San Jacinto and first President of the Republic of Texas. These lots include not only
artifacts from his early military career including a militia offficer?s chapeau (Lot 72), his field desk
(Lot 79), and saddle pad (Lot 77), but also the sword belt (Lot 75), silver spurs (Lot 78) and
presentation saber (Lot 74) worn by Houston at San Jacinto.
Another artifact from the Battle of San Jacinto, a Mexican General Officer?s Coat attributed to
Santa Anna (Lot 91) comes from the collection of James Sylvester, the only color-bearer at the
battle as well as the soldier credited with Santa Anna?s capture. Sylvester was employed at the
New Orleans Picayune Newspaper and spent many years of his life collecting arms and objects
associated with the Texan Revolution to supplement the coat he acquired after the battle.
Beside Houston and Sylvester?s artifacts are selections from the collection of yet another
historic Texan figure, famed Texas Ranger John ?Jack? Coffee Hays. Leading a Regiment of
Texas Mounted Riflemen, Hays led a futile attempt to capture General Antonio Lopez de Santa
Anna at Tehuacan in 1848. Hays kept many of the items captured in the raid, including two
Dress Chapeaus (Lots 99, 100), and a gold-bullion embroidered dress coat belonging to Santa
Anna himself (Lot 97).
Lewis & Grant is also happy to present objects from the ?Battle for Texas: The Experience?
exhibit, on display in downtown San Antonio from 2016-2019. This exhibit featured one of the
finest collections of Alamo and Texas artifacts assembled for public display, taken from private
collections throughout the country.
If you have not contacted Lewis & Grant Auctions to arrange payment within 3 days of the time that invoice is sent, we will charge the credit card you used to register for the auction for the amount of your invoice.
