THERE IS AN APPENDIX, LIST OF BIOGRAPHIES, AND A LIST OF ERRATA. IT HAS MANY BIOGRAPHIES OR PROMONENT CITIZENS, OLD PHOTOS, AND TONS OF NAMES AND DATES. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE TROVE OF TEXAS HISTORICAL INFORMATION. THIS BOOK CAME FROM THE LIBRARY OF A WOMAN FROM WACO WHO WAS A TEACHER AND A LIFELONG MEMBER OF THE UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY. SHE WAS VERY INVOLVED IN CONFEDERATE & TEXAS RESEARCH AND HISTORY AS EVIDENCED FROM HER BOOK COLLECTION. THE BOOK HAS SOME CONDITION ISSUES. THE FIRST 4 OR 5 PAGES AND THE LAST 4 OR 5 PAGES ARE VERY CHHIPPED AND FRAGILE. IT HAS BEEN TAPED BACK TOGETHER LONG AGO. THERE ARE SOME MOISTURE STAINS, HAND WRITTEN NOTATIONS HERE AND THERE, AND A FEW PAGES HAVE SOME DARK FOXING. THE INTERIOR PAGES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE CHIPPING AND STAINING DON'T INTERFERE WITH THE TEXT. THE LAST FEW PAGES IN THE BACK ARE ADVERTISEMENTS. THE BACKSIDE OF THE TITLE PAGE HAS AN OLD PHOTO OF THE COURTHOUSE WHICH IS PRETTY ROUGH. IT HAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME WRITTEN ON THE FIRST FREE ENDPAPER AND ON THE BACK COVER. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, THIS BOOK IS 107 YEARS OLD!! STILL A VERY USEABLE COPY OF A VERY HARD TO COME BOOK. I'M SURE THE FRAGILE PAGES COULD BE STABLEIZED. I HAVE OTHER GREAT TEXAS & WWII COLLECTABLE BOOKS AND  VINTAGE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES BOOKS LISTED AND AS ALWAYS I GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING. I MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE MY ITEMS, BUT I AM BY NO MEANS AN EXPERT. SO PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING AS ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
