by Ferdinand Roemer (Author), Oswald Mueller (Translator)

Written during an expedition to the German settlements of the Republic of Texas in the 1840s, this travelogue of bygone Texas was penned by the Father of Texas Geology. Roemer wrote about the geology and the land, as well as the habits and customs of the people of Texas...and he wrote it well. In addition to the settlements in the Hill Country, he journeyed to Houston and Galveston and every place in between.
