This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the founding of New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, Boerne, Comfort and the other German settlements of the Texas Hill Country. Refugees from economic and social strife in Germany, followed by idealistic communalists and liberal political refugees, came to the Hill Country looking for freedom and opportunity. Landing on the windswept shores of Matagorda Bay, they traced a path across the plains, seeking a future in the hills beyond. There they found a raw, untamed realm where few but Comanches dared go. Reaching for a promised land beyond the Llano River, the earliest immigrants soon realized that their dream was beyond their grasp, and had no choice but to adapt to the realities of the Texas frontier. Some fared well. Others succumbed to disease, injury, hunger and violence. Most stayed, but some retreated to less challenging locales. A remarkable few established outposts of intellectual fervor in pioneer settlements, debating the great ideas of the day in drafty log cabins. Bringing with them traditions and perspectives rooted in the feudal and despotic European past, the Germans learned to adjust to Texan and American notions, only to find themselves divided by the great controversy over slavery and secession. This is a story of hardy, industrious people transplanted into the most challenging of circumstances. It is a story of Texan pioneers.

Download or read book The German Texas Frontier in 1853 written by Daniel J. Gelo and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ferdinand Lindheimer was already renowned as the father of Texas botany when, in late 1852, he became the founding editor of the Neu-Braunfelser Zeitung, a German-language weekly newspaper for the German settler community on the Central Texas frontier. His first year of publication was a pivotal time for the settlers and the American Indians whose territories they occupied. Based on an analysis of the paper’s first year—and drawing on methods from documentary and narrative history, ethnohistory, and literary analysis—Daniel J. Gelo and Christopher J. Wickham deliver a new chronicle of the frontier in 1853. In keeping with Lindheimer’s background as a naturalist, the natural resources available are a constant subject for reporting. One special concern is the availability and ownership of wood, so essential for building lumber, fencing, and fuel. Most dramatically, the discovery of trace amounts of gold encouraged prospecting by German and Anglo settlers, which later influenced decisions to remove Indians to reservations. The activities of the area’s Indian peoples emerge in weekly details not found in other sources. Some Lipan Apaches are killed when the army does not learn of their peaceful intentions; restitution is made at Fredericksburg. A settler named Gadt is murdered, and Tonkawas are suspected. A horse raid southeast of San Antonio is blamed on the Lipans but turns out to be the work of non-Indians in disguise. The Delawares are driven temporarily to Indian Territory. Comanche men leave their families at Fort Chadbourne to embark on a raid against the Lipans. The Penateka band of Comanches honors the peace agreement they signed with the Germans six years earlier, but their days in the region are numbered. Lindheimer enhances the reportage with lengthy features on related subjects and exerts a strong editorial voice as he seeks to influence the development of a distinctive Texas German identity. His work, explained in this new study, will appeal not only to students of Texas history and ecology, Indigenous populations, immigration, intercultural encounters, and nineteenth-century Americana, but also to general readers who enjoy the rediscovery of hidden history.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the 1840s, large-scale German migration to Texas created a sizable and distinctive ethnic community in a region essential to U.S. territorial expansion at Mexico's expense. The United States was a young republic whose unity was strained by the scale of its land claims and by the cultural divisions that mass foreign migrations brought with them. It was an open question whether European immigrants would integrate into the American nation. What role would a large foreign population play at the edges of an unproven empire? This dissertation uses press, private, and government sources, as well as secondary literature, about Germans in Central Texas from the 1840s to the 1880s to explore ideas and practices of race and nationalism in the U.S. Southwest. It traces how immigrants' concepts of citizenship and nation from the German states of Central Europe interacted with local social structures and political opportunities on the Southwestern frontier to cement immigrants' affinity for the U.S. nation, including its federal institutions. German immigrants were diverse in background, aspirations, and political beliefs, but as a whole, I argue, the migration had certain discernible effects on society in Central Texas. Germans in Texas tended to emphasize the importance of cultural diversity against Anglo-American hegemony. At the same time, however, they advocated for U.S. territorial conquest in spite of its deleterious consequences for other minority groups--particularly native Tejanos, Mexican immigrants, and indigenous Indians. In the case of German-Texans, this combination of assertively maintaining ethnic culture while actively supporting U.S. nation-building allowed them to operate successfully within Anglo-American legal and political structures. I argue that their conceptualization of citizenship, while it was not unique to Germans in Texas, is important to our understanding of what it meant for the United States to become a nation of immigrants.
