AbstractA classic document of Texas pioneer days. As we read the detailed account of Ottilie Goeth's childhood in Germany and Texas, of the accomplishments and trials of her father, Adolf Fuchs, of the early days of sheep and goat ranching in Texas, and of the importance generations placed on family life, literature, and especially music-- and as we ponder the wisdom behind Ottilie's comments on nature, education, personal fulfillment, and religion -- we gain an understanding of history rarely imparted by history books.
