Adelsverein: The Gathering is Volume 1 of the Adelsverein Trilogy, a generational saga of family and community loyalties, and the challenge of building a new life on the hostile Texas frontier.They came from Germany to Texas in 1847, immigrants under the auspices of the Mainzer Adelsverein - the so-called Society of Noblemen of Mainz, who seek to fill a settlement in Texas with German farmers and craftsmen.Among those recruited for the transatlantic journey are an extended family who will survive and endure, making their mark in Texas, their new land. Christian "Vati" Steinmetz, the clockmaker of Ulm in Bavaria, has brought his daughters and sons: Magda - passionate and courageous, is courted in Texas by Texas Ranger Carl Becker, a young frontiersman with a dangerous past. Her sister Liesel wants nothing more than to be a good wife to her husband Hansi Richter, an otherwise stolid and practical farmer lured by the promise of adventure and the chance to better himself, for the Adelsverein tempts him with the promise of farming more land than could ever be possible for the youngest son of a poor farmer. Magda and Liesel's brothers - the bold scapegrace Friedrich and shy Johann are as close as twins can be - they think of the transatlantic journey by sailing ship as the most wonderful adventure ever. But at the end of it all, they are set ashore at a desolate camp on the Texas Gulf Coast, faced with a long trek to their new home in the Texas Hill Country - an unsettled and dangerous frontier, menaced by hostile Comanche war parties.Will the Adelsverein representatives be able to make peace, as they build new homes and settlements What will an immigrant German family make of their new home in TexasAdelsverein: The Gathering - It's about love and loss, joy and grief . . . and the sometimes wrenching process of becoming American. johnwayne-thealamo.com View topic - This Day In Texas History August 25 in Texas History Ninetieth Division activated at Camp Travis On this day in 1917 the Ninetieth Division of the U.S. Army was activated at Camp Travis Texas.
