Download or read book German Pioneers in Texas written by Don H. Biggers and published by Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German Pioneers of Texas was first published shortly after the 75th anniversary of the founding of Fredericksburg, Texas. In addition to relating memoirs of the early settlers, the book also gives an insight into the history of the community as it was viewed by one who recorded it in what is now almost the midpoint of its history. As such, it is, in effect, a bridge between yesterday and today. The first printing was in 1925 and then reprinted in 1983. The third reprinting was on the occasion of Fredericksburg's 150th anniversary, in 1996. Many stories have been written and books published about the German settlement of Fredericksburg. They all provide this pioneer German settlement with excellent documentation of events in its founding, its colonization, its hardships, as well as its days of glory that have come in abundance.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Leo Baeck Institute, to whose late president this book is dedicated, has three branches, located in Jerusalem, London, and New York. Its chief aim is the collection of documents describing the history of Jews in German-speaking countries, the manifold aspects of the association of the two ethnic groups, over a period of about 150 years; that is, from the time of the Enlightenment until the rise to power of the Nazi regime. Twenty-three Year Books (1956-1978) so far and many additional vol umes about special fields have been published by the institute. They offer an impressive documentation of the role Jews played in Germany, some of their great achievements, the difficulties they encountered in their struggle for equal rights, as well as its slow but seemingly success ful progress. A wealth of interesting material describes the mutual stimu lation of the creative forces of the two ethnic groups in a great variety of fields-literature, music, the performing arts, philosophy, humanities, the shaping of public opinion, economy, commerce, and industry. Since the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans, there have been only a few periods during which Jews played such an eminent role in the history of their host nation. As was forcefully emphasized by Gerson D.

Download or read book German Pioneer Equipment and Vehicles written by Rodolphe Roussille and published by Histoire & Collections. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruit of the seven years' research, this is the first of a series devoted to the vehicles and crossing equipment used by the German pioneers during World War Two, a theme neglected by military specialists until now. This book now fills the gap, tracing the development of amphibious vehicles from the initial hesitations in the thirties to the secret projects at the end of the war which remained on the drawing board. Illustrated with thirty or so color profiles and more than 200 black and white period photographs, of which a hundred or so are as yet unpublished, this book is the new reference for as yet relatively unstudied subjects such as: - The Trippelwagen amphibious cars and how they evolved. - The Land-Wasser-Schleppers in all its forms - The L.W.S. II Panzerfähre - The Skoda LWS III Project - Amphibious trailers A historian and model-maker, Rodolphe Roussille has specialized for more than ten years now in engineers' vehicles and equipment, and in the secret weapons developed by the Allies and the Axis forces during WWII; he is the author of numerous articles on the subject.

Book excerpt: America has been and still is a land of immigrants, a melting pot of many races and creeds. From 1832 until 1847, people poured into Texas from the American backwoods and from Europe. They sought the same things: land and a new life in a democratic society. As part of that wave, German immigrants came between 1845 and 1847. They came legally and helped establish what would become major cities in Central Texas. This story is about one immigrant and his family who left Germany expecting to rise from subsistence farming to commercial farming in the New World, only to be thrust into the role of pioneering farmer by an inept emigration company, the Adelsverein. Of course, legal emigration was more difficult in 1846 than it is today. The statement, they came over on the boat, belies the fact that voyages across the ocean were long, tedious, and dangerous. Wagon trains from the coast into the interior of the state were no easier. Hostile Indians, intent on keeping their cultures intact, occupied the land they settled. Creating a farm out of raw wilderness was not for the weak of heart or weak of limb. It took work, more difficult and more dangerous than most of us in the 21st century can imagine. See what it was like to emigrate during the nineteenth century through the story of Christoph Feuge and his large family from Heiningen (Germany) as they travel to Karlshafen (Texas) and on to the colony of Fredericksburg (Texas). Through luck, bold action, and sheer determination, he manages to survive hurricanes, disease, and years of absolute destitution to establish his dream in America. To round out his story of emigration, anecdotes and accounts from other emigrant diaries are added into his story. Thus, the story remakes Christoph Feuge into a Everyman German Immigrant, one who experiences all of what those early German Pioneers went through to put down roots in Texas. Robert Lamar Feuge was born and raised in Fredericksburg, Texas. He is the great, great grandson of the title character of this book. From his earliest days, he has been interested in the history of Fredericksburg and the German settlers who lived it. What was it like to emigrate from Germany to Texas in 1846? A graduate of Fredericksburg High School and Howard Payne College, Robert received his PhD from the University of New Mexico in 1969 and spent much of his adult life in San Diego. He has been an avid beach volleyball player, hiker, and collector of southwestern Indian art. Today, he lives in retirement with his wife, Margaret, and two miniature Dachshunds in Sedona, Arizona.
