Hardback. Condition: Fair. When Hermann Seele arrived in New Braunfels in 1845, the raw colony was plagued by poverty, disease, lack of food, and hostile Indians. This personal record of the Germans in Texas shows their evolution from struggling colonists to prosperous citizens. From his viewpoint of a hardworking yet imaginative pioneer, Seele presents first a history of German immigration and settlement in Texas during the nineteenth century. Next, his autobiographical writings range from a sentimental recollection of his first Christmas Eve in Texas to his first day of teaching in New Braunfels, from accounts of the popular singing society to murder and justice along the Comal River. In addition, Seele's romantic novel, The Cypress, is a delightful though improbable tale of a traveling botanist, a chieftain's daughter, and a savage Indian cult. Hermann Seele--farmer, lawyer, teacher, lay preacher, mayor, state representative, Civil War major, and editor--epitomizes the best of the German immigrants who established their communities as models of respectability and prosperity.…

All tips are sharp. Absolutely no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has very light touches of crinkling at the extremities; no chips, soiling, or tears. SIGNED and inscribed by Gish on the ffep. ".The many thousands of German immigrants who helped to settle Texas in its formative years around the middle of the nineteenth century and then again in the decades after the Civil War, brought with them a cultural heritage unique in its variety and richness. The visual, in a folkloric sense, 'material' aspects of this transplanted German culture have long been admired in the Lone Star State. Much less accessible, but no less important and representative of this cultural heritage is the 'non-material' record. Intellectually and spiritually, Texas Germans have influenced the political, the educational and the religious development of Texas in distinctive ways. There is also an abundant linguistic record. In addition to the spoken language, Texanisch-Deutsch, there is the record of the written language, not only that brought over from Germany, but the 'new' record, described in the German language, of being an immigrant, or being a pioneer and, eventually, of being a citizen of Texas and of the United States."
