Publications
External Publications
Antiquarian, Ethnological and Other Researches in New Granada, Ecuador, Peru and Chile (1860); a translation entitled The Expedition of Pedro de Ursa and Lope de Aguirre in Search of Eldorado and Amagua in 1560–1 (1861); and The Wars of Succession in Portugal and Spain, from 1826 to 1840 (1870). He also wrote an "Essay on Salt," which won him a bronze medal from the Society of Arts in 1853. Despite his prolific publication, his writing about the Texas years was limited to a few scattered articles published in popular journals. His original "Texas Manuscript," consisting of six diaries and two volumes of journals, was purchased in 1902 by Edward E. Ayer and presented nine years later to the Newberry Library in Chicago. In 1956 editors W. Eugene Hollon and Ruth Lapham Butler published the original manuscript under the title William Bollaert's Texas.
