Nassau Plantation: The Evolution of a Texas German Slave Plantation
“In depth, thoroughness, and scope,Nassau Plantationhas no equal in the literature of the Society. It will become the standard reference on this topic and will be of interest to scholars of German-Texan history as well as to the large element of German-Texans.”—Wolfram M. Von-Maszewski, editor ofVoyage to North America 1844-45: Prince Carl of Solms’s Texas Diary of People, Places, and Events“The topic is excellent. The only extended monographs on theAdelsvereinand German emigration to Texas date to the early twentieth century. A lot of material has come to light since these studies appeared, and Kearney is on top of the sources.”—Walter Struve, author ofGermans and Texans“Nassau Plantationis well grounded in primary sources with good biographical information on the major characters. This will be a valuable reference work.”—Walter Buenger, author ofSecession and the Union in Texasand coeditor ofTexas Through Time"Kearney provides a well-written and interesting story about Germans in the Texas Hill Country that will be welcomed by aficionados and local historians."--American Historical Review
