T. Streeter's copy; Civic Militia Regs of Texas
<B>Reglamento Para La Milicia Civica Del Estado De Coahuila Y Texas. Monclova 1834 [Regulations for the Civic Militia of the States of Coahuila and Texas. Monclova 1834]</B></I> Government printing directed by the citizen Sisto Gonzales: 1834 [May 6, 1834], 12mo., 21 pp., with ornamental border on title page. <B>Thomas Streeter's</B></I> copy, containing his personal bookplate on the front pastedown. The Reglamento contains regulations for the establishment of the civil militia, in 9 chapters, 86 articles. It outlines the chain of command, and covers such details as uniforms, salary, ranks, and armament. Entered in Kimball's <I>Laws Of Coahuila and Texas</B></I> only by title, it follows the same general arrangement as the earlier Reglamento on the civic militia of 1828 (Streeter 731), which it supersedes, and many of the articles are the same. Ironically, the military unit established by these regulations would be involved in the earliest uprisings under Juan Seguin, and would eventually participate in the revolution against Santa Anna. Bound in quarter Morocco with marbled paper, gilt title along spine. Minor staining at bottom throughout. <I>From the collection of Darrel Brown.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Reference: </B></I>Streeter 809: locating only two additional copies.
