Book excerpt: Inspired by a reporter's account of his trip to the German immigrant community of Charlestown (St. Elizabeth Post Office) in 1896 that was published in the Missouri Volksfreund, a German language newspaper in Jefferson City, the book takes the reader back in time to the first four decades of a successful German American settlement with contemporary information from 460 news reports by local correspondents published in the Volksfreund. In addition to the 460 translated news reports, the book incorporates historic photographs, engravings, and information from the German-language text books, business records, prayer books and hymnals to describe what life was like at "Charleytown" in the early years. There are twenty-three themed chapters plus four chapters of translations. The book has current information about the economics of the era expressed in 2023 inflation-adjusted dollars. It has significance beyond the local community as a case study in the German settlement experience in Missouri and other states in the "German Belt" of mid-America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They always win the halftime. Members of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band, embodying the spirit, camaraderie, and excellence of the school they represent, have marched and played proudly for 125 years. Here is the story of the music, the precision, and the tradition of the exceptional band that marches to the beat pulsing through the spirit of Aggieland. Illustrated throughout with historical and contemporary images, this lively history pays tribute to the bandmasters and musicians who have made this organization the pride of Aggies everywhere. Organized around the tenure of its founder, Joseph Holick, and its directors—Richard J. Dunn, E. V. Adams, Joe T. Haney, Ray E. Toler, and Timothy B. Rhea—the book marches through 125 years of tradition and excellence. From the birth of the band, through the development of its marching style, to its most recent triumphs of precision maneuvers and military music, the story is as bold and bright as the band itself. War years, fish bands, boots, band lyres, corps trips, parades, and other traditions known and loved by former band members and other former students of Texas A&M University fill the book’s pages. An appendix lists all of the band’s eight thousand–plus present and former members. This is the story of the determination, discipline, and enduring pride that rests deep in the heart of those young men and women who have been tough enough, proud enough, and good enough to be the noble men and women of Kyle.
