Description
The collections of the Dallas Historical Society contains many rare and unique documents and artifacts relating to Texas history. A number of which have not been viewed by the public in many years. The exhibit focuses in on Texas history from the time it was occupied by Native cultures, discovered by Europeans, was an independent Republic, and continues through 1870.
Some of the items on display include Santa Anna’s battle flag captured at San Jacinto, the only known original Juneteenth order which freed the slaves in Texas, letters and documents from settlers who had “gone to Texas”, Civil War items that include a surgeons field kit, an appointment by the Republic to Pinckney Henderson to represent the government in Washington to discuss the possibility of statehood “a matter to be carried out with the greatest secrecy and dispatch.”
