<B>Velasco, TX- Government of Texas Warrant </B></I>$100.00 Sept. 13, 1836 Cr. V-2, Medlar 3, Olson 130<BR> Velasco was the site where Stephen F. Austin's first 38 colonists arrived in 1821, and, immediately after the battle of San Jacinto in 1836, was named the temporary capital of the Republic of Texas. Velasco is also where Santa Anna signed the treaties recognizing the independent Republic of Texas, upon his release back to Mexico. Both parties violated the treaties, as the Texians would block Santa Anna's return to Mexico, and the Mexican government would not recognize the Treaties as Santa Anna was a prisoner at the time he signed the documents. These hostilities would continue to boil until the Mexican-American War of 1846 through 1848. This warrant was issued to Robert McCaskey, and is endorsed on the back as well. <B>Very Fine</B></I>, CC. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
