| Abstract | Donated by Glenn Gilbert, 2009.From bookjacket: "Among the dramas of the Civil War, perhaps none is stranger or more poignant than that of the German colonists in south-central Texas, who against all pressures remained steadfastly loyal to the Union in a Confederate state. Here is their story, authentically re-created by one of their own descendants." |
| Notes | Herman Toepperwein, an attorney and author, was born in Menard, Texas, in 1907, the son of Emil and Sophie Nauwald Toepperwein. He is a direct descendant of the first German immigrants to the Fredericksburg area. Toepperwein died in Kerrville, Texas, in 1976. |
