German Seed in Texas Soil: Immigrant Farmers in Nineteenth-Century Texas (Texas Classics)

A must read if you are interested in the history of Texas or have ancestors that settled in the Texas Hill Country. Once you start to do genealogical research, you can't find enough out to put yourself in their place - to feel what your ancestors must have felt or thought. Great stories and photographs.

This is an excellent study on how Germans adapted to the heat and conditions of agriculture in Texas. Very interesting.

I have read this book for my Texas History class. It is well written and very preceise. It contains many of the same stories that i have heard from great grandparents of german immigration..I recommend this to any one interested in german immigration.! :)
