Endorsement signed “S. F. Austin,” at the bottom of a manuscript military discharge, one irregularly trimmed page, 7.5 x 2.5, dated November 24, 1835. Document reads, “This is to certify that Nathan A. McFadin entered the Army of Texas on the 25th October last has served in my company and is now honourably discharged.” Signed at the conclusion by Captain John Bird, and endorsed along the bottom, “Capt. Bird has discharged the said N. McFadin, S. F. Austin.” Document is affixed to a smaller piece of cardboard. Intersecting folds, trimming as noted, some light haloing and bleeding to Austin’s endorsement and signature, light creasing and wrinkling, and moderate toning, otherwise very good condition. Bird was a Ranger and had fought with Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812, against the Comanche in 1832 and the Mexicans during the Texas Revolution in 1836. He was killed by an arrow through the heart in a skirmish with Comanches in 1839. The Robert Davis Collection.
