Of greatest interest is the 9-page appendix
which offers a series of detailed itineraries
between San Luis Potosí and various points in
Texas, accompanied by comments on the state of
the roads. For example, the itinerary from the
Rio Grande to Bejar concludes with comments
on Ciudad San Antonio Bejar: “Camino plano
por un llano llamado de Leon: el paso de este
rio es vadeable en las secas.” Mexico had just
recently invaded Texas in the Mier Expedition,
perhaps explaining why the military prepared
these detailed routes.
The 28-page first section consists entirely on tables
of distances between various cities in Mexico. Palau 56534; Streeter Texas II:1001. No other copies
known at auction.
