Biographical History
Gordon, Forstall, and Co. were merchants in New Orleans, La. (45 Toulouse St.) with markets branching out into Mexico that dealt in items such as sugar and woolens. The impending Texas Revolution (1835-1836) and arbitrarily imposed duties levied against them made doing business in Mexico in 1832 increasingly unprofitable and unsafe for American merchants. Although the merchants mentioned in the document were not in the Texas territory, the clashes between official Mexican forces and groups of colonists over social and political differences made it difficult for Americans to operate in Mexico.
