Answer to Interrogatories in Case No; 396, Mary C. Paschal Et Al;, Vs; Theodore Evans: District Court of McCulloch County, Texas, November Term, 1893 (Classic Reprint)

Uncover the ambitious promises behind a 19th‑century German emigration to Texas and the stark reality that followed. This edition presents sworn testimony and documentary context around the German Emigration Company's contracts, land allotments, and the financial strain that shaped settlers’ lives in the 1840s.

The text explores how agreements were formed in Germany, how land was allocated upon arrival, and how payments, transports, and provisioning were managed under political and legal pressures. It also includes reflections on mismanagement, financing, and the long shadow of promises kept or broken in a formative period of Texas history.

• Details the contract structure that set land allotments—320 acres for a family and 160 for a single man.


• Describes the promised infrastructure and services tied to emigration, from transport to housing and community institutions.


• Notes how transfers of land certificates were handled and how the intent behind those transfers was understood by all parties.


• Offers sworn testimony and referenced documents that illuminate 1840s colonial schemes, disputes, and financial challenges.

Ideal for readers of Texas history, legal history, and 19th‑century migration studies seeking grounded, documentary insight into a controversial chapter of the era.
