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

Terry Jordan explores how German immigrants in the nineteenth century influenced and were influenced by the agricultural life in the areas of Texas where they settled. His findings both support the notion of ethnic distinctiveness and reveal the extent to which German Texans adopted the farming techniques of their Southern Anglo neighbors.

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.! :)

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

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.
