Opis

In the 1840s an organization of German noblemen, the "Mainzner" "Adelsverein," attempted to settle thousands of German emigrants on the Texas frontier. Nassau Plantation, located near modern-day Round Top, Texas, in northern Fayette County, was a significant part of this story. No one, however, has adequately documented the role of the slave plantation or given a convincing explanation of the "Adelsverein" from the German point of view.
