Land Grant for 160 acres in Denton County.

Booklet containing information about the temperature, wind, and weather in Denton, Texas from July to December 1858. Otis G. Welch was the author and illustrator of this book. He recorded his observations at sunrise, noon, 3 p.m., and sunset. Mr. Welch also made notes about the wind, weather, and clouds. We debated about the artwork on the cover and - with the help of the staff of the Fort Worth Botanical Research Institute of Texas - decided that it is either a bent angle Curie Thermometer OR a "flowering grass culm with two rows of seed heads along the central axis of sideoats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula)."
