Title:
Documents relating to the colonization of Texas, 1729-1730Abstract:
Two files of documents, copies and originals, relating to a royal decree of February 14, 1729, which provided for settlement
of certain localities in the province of Texas by 400 families from the Canary Islands. This was in accordance with the recommendations
of the Marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo, former governor of Coahuila and Texas, who advocated mixed colonization by Canary
Islanders and Tlaxcalan natives, in view of threatened French encroachment and the potential value of the territory.
