Wharton\u003c\/strong\u003e (1873-1941) spent his adult life practicing law in Houston. Legal work made him a prosperous man, which allowed him to indulge in collecting rare volumes of Texas history, and writing works which have become rare. Like this one. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis History of the Republic of Texas was published in 1922 and has been almost entirely forgotten. That's a real shame, because Judge Wharton tells the story of the Republic better than anyone. His history reads like a knowledgeable friend talking to you, and that makes it a pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudge Wharton breaks the history of the Republic of Texas into four parts: The Colonies, The Revolution, The Republic, and Annexation. Each of those sections contains several of his \"talks\". Like I said, his writing style is clear and easily absorbed. The judge accomplishes the literary miracle of conveying a depth of information with grace and simplicity in these nearly 70 vignettes about early Texas history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46443368513687,"sku":"9781941324769","price":4261.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781941324769.webp?v=1769126279","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/whartons-republic-of-texas-9781941324769","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
