Originally published in German in 1849, this book has been described by scholars of German-Texana as "a treasure of German-Texan history," and "a valuable contribution to our knowledge of early Texas." Always a champion of Texas and democracy, Bracht displays a zeal presented here in a highly readable 1931 translation by Charles Schmidt. As an employee of the Mainzer Adelsverein, Bracht traveled extensively through settled and unsettled parts of Texas, carefully observing conditions and relating them authoritatively to an eager audience in Germany. With a new foreword by Viktor Bracht's grandson, Roland A. Eisenhauer, this reprint edition of Texas in 1848 continues the aim of the German-Texan Heritage Society to provide readers with important reviews of German-Texan history.. Book Condition: Very Good.
