and the like. Guides used for such spellings were F. W. Hodge (ed.), Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico (1907), W. P. Webb and H. Bailey Carroll (eds.), Handbook of Texas (1952), and the Southwestern Historical Quarterly. The drawings by Seth Eastman, United States Army officer stationed in Texas before the Civil War, are reproduced from Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, Historical and Statistical Information Respecting the History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States (1851-1857). Publications of these manuscripts are made available so that the general public can have access to the significant docu- ments of Texas History. The publication program of the Ar- chives Division of the Texas State Library fulfills in part the legislative mandate to "edit and preface for publication copies of the Texas Archives." A portion of the typing, indexing, and proofreading has been done by Mrs. Irene Sanchez, Jaime Pla- t6n, Alvin A. Horne, and David B. Gracy.
