Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association, Vol. 3 [This narrative follows substantially a MS. in the collection of Colonel Guy M. Bryan, who has kindly permitted its publication in The Quarterly. He recites the history of the MS. briefly as follows: "Some years ago, when I resided in Galveston, Colonel Lowe, of the Galveston News, informed me that he had received a letter from a Mr. Lewis, of Louisiana, making inquiry about some of the earliest settlers of Austin´s first colony, and that he wished I would write him. He said he was a man of good character and his family was highly respectable. In this way I became acquainted with Mr. Lewis. When I ascertained from him that he was on the Lively I requested him to write an account of his adventures on the Lively and in Texas, which he did. He requested me to return the original manuscript, which I did, but retained a copy of it. The whereabouts of the original MS. can not be stated here, but it is believed to be in possession of the relatives of Mr. Lewis. In preparing the copy for publication much more liberty has been taken with it than if it had been the original. Some changes have been made in the phraseology, and at one or two points where the story is somewhat confused a degree of interpretation has been considered necessary in order to clear it up. On the whole, however, the sense, and even the wording of the copy has been closely followed. It should be stated that Colonel Bryan says he compared the copy with the original and is sure that it is a faithful reproduction. The story concerning the Lively that is to be found in works on Texas history, and has been generally believed, is that the vessel was lost at sea.
