About this Item

Description:

[6]pp., printed on a single folded sheet of watermarked paper. Signed with manuscript rubric of Minster of Finance Manuel Piña y Cuevas on the final text page. Small quarto. Light horizontal crease and edge wear, one contemporary manuscript correction writing 'Tucson' in ink, some later pencil annotations. Near fine. Untrimmed and unopened. A scarce postwar decree designating new locations and regulations for customs offices along Mexico's border with the United States, issued in the months following the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. The Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which went into effect just a few months earlier, dramatically reduced Mexico's territory. This decree, issued by president José Joaquin de Herrera, begins by noting that "on consequence of the change to the borders of our Republic based on the treaty recently made with the United States, several of the frontier customs houses which were mandated by the decrees of.1837.1840.and 1844 can no longer continue in their designated locations" [our translation]. The main part of the text notes each of the locations which will have to change, divided between the "Frontera de Oriente," "Frontera de Chihuahua," and "Frontera de Occidente." Unfortunately not all of the new locations would last long either - article six moves the customs house previously located in Taos (now deep in American territory) to Tucson, which would only remain in Mexican hands for a few more years, until the Gadsden Purchase brought it into the United States. Various other locations in Texas and along the Rio Grande are also mentioned. The decree is signed in type as well as with the manuscript rubric of Don Manuel Piña y Cuevas, the Mexican Minister of Finance. OCLC locates only four copies of this rare and significant decree: at the University of Texas at Austin, Tulane, New Mexico State University, and Yale. OCLC 7430432, 84224339, 9011196.
