On October 24th, 1975, the Board of Regents of the University of Texas System authorized the acquistion of a remarkable collection of materials dealing with Texas and the American West from the Jenkins Company of Austin. This collection of books, manuscripts, broadsides and maps formerly belonged to Edward Eberstadt & Sons, a famous New York bookseller. Assembled by Eberstadt over a period of seventy-five years, these materials represent part of the private stock of that firm--the finest copies and rarest titles set aside for the Eberstadt personal collection. In August of 1975, the Jenkins Company purchased the entire Eberstadt Collection of over 40,000 items dealing chiefly with American history, and in turn offered the items on Texas and the American West to the University of Texas.
