The Austin Papers, Vol. 3: October, 1834-January, 1837 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Austin Papers, Vol. 3: October, 1834-January, 1837

While waiting for the passage of this law Austin busied himself with the affairs of Texas. He published his Exposicio'n dl dlico sobre los Asuntos de Tejas, which was designed to convince the authorities of the continued loyalty of Texas, and to some extent had that effect; and he developed a plan for the opening of a government road through Texas to Chihuahua. This road had for its immediate object the diversion of the Santa f -north Mexican trade from St. Louis and Independence, Mis souri, to Texas; and for its ultimate object it probably had in view the establishment of indissoluble economic ties between Texas and the North Mexican States.
