Ornate partly-printed DS, one page, 17.75 x 14, December 15, 1844. Land grant issued to John Holloday [sic] for 640 acres of land for “having fought bravely at the Battle of Coletto on the 19th of March under Colonel Fannin.” Boldly signed at the conclusion by Houston, as president, and countersigned by Commissioner of the General Land Office Thomas Ward. Left side of document bears a magnificent and large vignette of a Texas artillery company firing on a palatial building, with several dead soldiers in the foreground. Intersecting folds, with a horizontal fold through tops of a few letters of Houston’s signature, a repaired tear to lower right, as well as a few other small tears, scattered creasing and wrinkling, a few small spots of ink erosion to Houston’s signature, and a few small areas of paper loss, otherwise very good condition. The white wafer “General land Office, Republic of Texas” seal is worn, but intact. Houston’s gigantic signature is extremely large and bold measuring almost five inches in length and three inches high. Three men, led by Holliday, managed to escape from Goliad, where Fannin, and 341 others were massacred. The Robert Davis Collection.
