A Continent Divided: The U.S. - Mexico War

UT Arlington Library's Special Collections serves as the repository for one of the most comprehensive archives relating to the U.S. - Mexico War in either the United States or Mexico. The core of these holdings was acquired by Fort Worth attorney Jenkins Garrett, who in 1973 donated to UT Arlington his collection of more than 10,000 discrete items on Texas and the war with Mexico, including broadsides, sheet music, manuscripts, maps and graphic materials.

A Continent Divided

Border Land: Interethnic Violence in Texas, 1821-1879

This project maps sites of conflict between Native Americans, Hispanos, African Americans, and Euro-Americans in Texas from the creation of the First Mexican Republic (1821) to the aftermath of the Civil War. Although work on the project is ongoing, it seeks to map all inter-ethnic violence in a region that was for many years one of the most diverse region of the North American continent.
