Mexican War
Important from Mexico. THE TREATY RATIFIED! "Honorable James Buchanan" as Secretary of State This Newspaper Identified as His Personal Copy
June 8, 1848-Dated Mexican-American War Period, Newspaper, "The Texian Advocate," Victoria, TX, the Honorable James Buchanan as Secretary of State Personal Copy, 4 pages, Oversize Bifolium, measuring 17.5" x 23", Choice Extremely Fine.
This is the Honorable James Buchanan as Secretary of State, Personal Delivered Newspaper copy of "The Texian Advocate," with "Important from Mexico. THE TREATY RATIFIED!" This newspaper is noted at top, "Hon. Jas Buchanan - Secy of State," designating this exact Newspaper as his personal delivered copy. The Mexican War dated between April 25, 1846 to February 3, 1848 (1 year, 9 months, 1 week and 1 day). The end of the Mexican War is announced in this edition of The Texian Advocate. This particular copy of the newspaper was owned by future President James Buchanan, with his name hand written as the subscriber in the upper margin: "Hon. Jas. Buchanan, Secy of State."
The historic Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo set the Rio Grande as the new boundary for Texas and additionally gave the US ownership of California and a large portion of the present Southwest. Mexico and the U.S. exchanged ratifications of the treaty in Quertaro in late May, 1848.
Page 2 also carries an item on a report presented to the U.S. Senate on the use of Colt's repeating fire arms: "We perceive that our entire delegation highly approve of the employment of these weapons by the U.S. Army. These arms have proved invaluable to our Texian Rangers against the Indians, and are destined to be adopted by the troops of our entire army."
James Buchanan is also mentioned several times in the typeset coverage of the Baltimore Convention, during which he stood for-but did not receive-the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States. This newspaper in excellent condition, bright, fresh clean and crisp with its two leaves neatly separated with some very minor paper loss at margins. Overall, very impressive and in excellent fresh vivid condition. Of course, that is what you would expect when owning the Honorable James Buchanan as the Secretary of State, personal newspaper!
The Mexican-American War, also known as the Mexican War, the U.S.-Mexican War or the Invasion of Mexico, was an armed conflict between the United States of America and the United Mexican States from 1846 to 1848. It followed in the wake of the 1845 US annexation of Texas, which Mexico considered part of its territory, despite the 1836 Texas Revolution.
