Written during an expedition to the German settlements of the Republic of Texas in the 1840s; this travelogue of bygone Texas was penned by the Father of Texas Geology. Roemer wrote about the geology and the land; as well as the habits and customs of the people of Texas...and he wrote it well. In addition to the settlements in the Hill Country; he journeyed to Houston and Galveston and every place in between.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Alright; but not greatBy Bookworm64The excised material is informative; but Price's introduction isn't really worth reading. He says Jomini is unclear; and cites "according to legend" as proof; when I have found Jomini to be one of the clearest writers I have ever read. Like the philosopher Spinoza; when Jomini introduces a term he promptly defines it. The actual text is little more than a reprint of the 1862 West Point translation; but with some spelling errors introduced; and at least one misquote (p. 110; "wherever a titan can set hs foot; titan should be man). It is truly useful if you have a second book on Napoleonic battles; and good for any wargamers; and cheaper than the Greenhill Books edition.
