A PAPER ON THE RESOURCES AND CAPABILITIES OF TEXAS, READ...BEFORE THE FARMERS' CLUB OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE, COOPER UNION, NEW YORK, MARCH 8th, ... The scarce first printing of this important tract, which saw two more editions - each expanded in length - later in the year, one printed in New York, the other in Austin. An exceedingly optimistic bit of Texas boosterism, with facts and figures on all aspects of the state: railroads, agriculture, economics, ranching, coal, geography, and more. William W. Lang was, according to the advertisement on the inside front wrapper of the present work, the president of the South-Western Immigration Company.
