petuates the memory and the spirit of the men and women who
achieved and maintained the independence of Texas."
PURPOSE OF THE AWARD. The donor and the sponsors hope in

genesis of Anglo-American civilization in this region and an ac-
curate appraisal of the character and characteristics of the
pioneers.

hope to offer this or similar awards annually. In later years it is
expected that books published during the calendar year ending
October 1 and manuscripts ready for publication will be eligible.

dence of Texas," regardless of the date of publication.
