(MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE)
A series of five A.L.S.s written by SERGEANT CLEMENTE DE LA GARZA, all 1p.-2pp., 8vo., Behar and Ciudad Altexas, Oct. 29, 1829-Jan. 1, 1832, in Spanish. De la Garza writes concerning personal and military topics, including better conditions for troops and proposed changes to military insignia. De la Garza came from a well-established family in Mexico, and his descendants were major figures in Mexico's later battles for Texas and against the Apache and French. He writes during a time when Mexico experienced constant squabbles between the "liberales" and the "conservadores" and weathered a final attempt by Spain in 1829 to subjugate the land and its inhabitants. Toned with slight show-through, light water staining evident in a few examples, overall very good.

Estimate: $300 - 400.
