Book Synopsis Turning Germans Into Texans by : Matthew D. Tippens
Download or read book Turning Germans Into Texans written by Matthew D. Tippens and published by . This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first full-scale discussion of the impact of World War I on ethnic Germans in Texas. Germans were among the first settlers to Texas, and contributed greatly to the growth of the state in the fields of business, religion, music, agriculture, ranching, and cultural activities. Despite such accomplishments, German Texans became the targets of an anti-German hysteria during World War I. In the lead up to America's entry into the war, German Texans were subjected to intense scrutiny. After the United States declared war against Germany in April 1917, the response to German-Texan activities lost all sense of proportion to the danger. Simply being German or using the German language aroused suspicion. In the state, people tarred and feathered, beat, and whipped German Texans. Based on extensive archival research, author Matthew D. Tippens details how the attackers intended to turn Germans into Texans using whatever means necessary. Following the war, the strive for "100% Americanism" by groups such as Ku Klux Klan continued the assault. Despite the years of attacks, by 1930, German-Texan culture, though not unscathed, proved that it had survived the war and would continue for several more decades.
Book Synopsis Surviving on the Texas Frontier - Personal Recollections of Life in Nineteenth-Century Texas by : Sarah Harkey Hall
Download or read book Surviving on the Texas Frontier - Personal Recollections of Life in Nineteenth-Century Texas written by Sarah Harkey Hall and published by Eakin Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few accounts of life in nineteenth-century Texas provide the vivid poignancy of these recollections set down by Sarah Harkey Hall in 1905. Her narrative, written at age forty-eight for her children, captured the rhythms of daily and seasonal life in frontier San Saba County and chronicles her struggle for physical and emotional survival, as well as struggles of her family and community. Unlike many pioneer memoirs written for later generations, Sarah does not assume a nostalgic or triumphant tone and does not glide over life's daily hardships in a new country.The result is a remarkable record of frontier endurance, a record more bitter than sweet. Sarah's parents settled in 1853-1854 on Richland Creek in Central Texas, within the vast boundaries of Bexar County. They were among the first immigrants in the region, locating "one mile east of Richland Springs among the recently vacated wigwams of the Comanche Indians." Sarah's manuscript was transcribed by her great-granddaughter, Maidrell Henry of Kingsland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “authoritative, comprehensive, well written, and entertaining” guide to staying alive in the desert from a Texas Parks and Wildlife veteran (Library Journal). Remote desert locations, including the Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico, southern Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, draw adventurers of all kinds, from the highly skilled and well prepared to urban cowboys who couldn’t lead themselves, much less a horse, to water. David Alloway’s goal in this book is to help all of them survive when circumstances beyond their control strand them in the desert environment. In simple, friendly language, enlivened with humor and stories from his own extensive experience, Alloway—a naturalist and search-and-rescue veteran who’s worked with the US Air Force on survival skills—here offers a practical, comprehensive handbook for both short-term and long-term survival in the Chihuahuan and other North American deserts.
