John O. Meusebach: German Colonizer in Texas Paperback - 1966
by Irene Marschall King
Summary
An in-depth look at the life and accomplishments of the author's grandfather, John O. Meusebach. Meusebach was the second commissioner-general of the Adelsverein, which sent thousands of German immigrants to Texas in the 1840s, and his leadership is credited with salvaging the troubled mission. Despite tremendous obstacles, he founded the town of Fredericksburg and established a successful peace treaty with the Comanches. He was later elected (while he was on a voyage to Germany) to the state senate, but gave up a promising political career to spend the last decades of his life farming in Loyal Valley.

Description:
New. Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach chose a life of hardship and freedom in Texas rather than a life of comfort and influence in his native Germany, where he had lived his formative years within a framework of unconstitutional government. In 1845 the young liberal relinquished his hereditary German title, left behind his close family ties and his various intellectual and political associations, and arrived in Texas as John O.

Lacking adequate financial backing, he nevertheless led the settling of some five thousand people in a land that was largely occupied by Indians. Irene Marschall King presents the full sweep of Meusebach's vigorous life: Meusebach as the young liberal in Germany, as the colonizer in the 1840s, as a Texas senator and, later, an observer of the Civil War,…
