(Houston’s Buffalo Bayou and Allen’s Landing Area). Undated, but believed circa 1870 based on rail lines shown. A fascinating, unique, original, pencil on paper sketch of Houston’s Buffalo Bayou wharf area showing the Houston and Texas Central Railroad (1856-) and other features. Annotated “…They have laid a RR track from the Depot around the hill to the new wharf as indicated by the line…”. Said to have come from an old trunk belonging to Thomas William (Peg Leg) Ward (1807-1872), one of the organizers of the New Orleans Grays and veteran of the 1835 Siege of Bexar.
