| Abstract | Ottilie Fuchs Goeth's (1836-1926) autobiography (Was Grossmutter erzaehlt, or The Memoirs of a Texas Pioneer Grandmother, 1915) is one of the principal landmarks that explain the mid-nineteenth century German colonization in central Texas from the point of view of women. The work is part of two literatures, German and American. She began writing her memoirs in 1908 at the age of 72. When she finished after seven years, her narrative spanned over a century and reflected, in and through her life, the history of German culture in Texas. |
