In the second attempt for Texas independence, Gen. James Long, a surgeon and veteran of the War of 1812, declared Texas’ independence and occupied Nacogdoches. Under the heading of “Declaration of the independence of Texas,” (p. 31) the full text of the declaration is printed. The editor adds that there are various reports that men are marching to join the forces and an alliance is to be formed with “General Lafitte of Galveston!!” The editor concludes that “the whole is a bubble and will eventuate in the destruction of all men engaged in it…” The “Long Republic” lasted about four months. 16 pages. Disbound.
