by Kenneth Hafertepe (Author)
This readable and thoroughly documented volume relates the fascinating story of the French Legation in Austin. The oldest house in the city, it was built in 1840-1841 as the residence of the French chargé d'affaires to the fledgling Republic of Texas. Alphonse Dubois, the self-styled "Count de Saligny," dazzled frontier Texans with elegant parties until he was recalled after less than a year in Austin.
KENNETH HAFERTEPE is chair of the department of museum studies at Baylor University. He is the author of several books, including America's Castle: The Evolution of the Smithsonian Building and Its Institution, 1840-1878 and Abner Cook: Master Builder on the Texas Frontier.
