The Texas Almanac and State Industrial Guide 1929
First published in 1857, the Texas Almanac has a long history of chronicling the Lone Star State and its residents. The first edition was issued by The Galveston News in January 1857, 21 years after Texas won its independence from Mexico and only 12 years after it became a state. The focus of the earliest editions of the Texas Almanac was on history and the workings of the state government. These 19th century editions included many first-person accounts of the Texas Revolution and the early days of the Republic and of statehood. An edition was published each year through 1873, except for 1866, totaling 16 annual editions.
