Tales from the Sunday House
ISBN: 9780875651736 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the middle of the nineteenth century more than 7,000 Germans migrated to Central Texas--most to Comal, Gillespie, and Llano Counties. For the next three quarters of a century, the Germans of Central Texas retained much of their ethnicity: they were taught German in the schools, there were German-language newspapers, and ties to the Fatherland remained strong. But with the coming of World War I, many of the Hill Country Germans began slipping away from the old ways. The generation that grew up between the two world wars became more and more Americanized.

Recollections of Western Texas, 1852-55
ISBN: 9780896724365 / Angielski / Miękka / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When brothers William and John Wright arrived in the United States from Ireland in 1850 and could find no other suitable employment, they joined the U.S. Army s Regiment of Mounted Rifles, which served on the Texas frontier. Their description of their experiences is unusual on several counts: it is a view of Texas in the 1850s, when personal accounts were rare, and it is written from the point of view of visitors to this nation. And because the Wrights published their book in 1857, only three years after they left the army, their story has an immediacy lacking in many memoirs.He was a man in...

Dog Trots & Mud Cats: The Texas Log House
ISBN: 9781574415285 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Log cabins and houses are more than historical curiosities. Throughout the nineteenth century, they were symbols of American frontier ingenuity. Their images were used in political campaigns and on commercial products to represent trustworthiness and quality. When new building techniques were developed, however, they became representatives of the primitive past that were best left behind. Now log dwellings are making a comeback for urbanites trying to get back to the land. In 1979, the staff of the Historical Collection at what is now the University of North Texas assembled an exhibit... Log cabins and houses are more than historical curiosities.

Echoes of the Agua Chiquita
ISBN: 9781478751632 / Angielski / Miękka / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Echoes of the Agua Chiquita tells the story of a quiet, hidden place in the back country of New Mexico. This history sheds light on a little known, out of the way part of the Sacramento Mountains of southern New Mexico. The area is surrounded by the scenes of Billy the Kid, Apaches and Cavalry, Pancho Villa, A bombs and rockets, but its past is a truer picture of daily life on the frontier. It is also an account of how historians find sources to collect the stories they tell and will help the reader see that this is not always a straightforward process.
