Typescript with pencilled annotations in an unidentified hand. Based on family documents and letters, the history documents the genealogy of the Johannes and Friederike Romberg family; their emigration from Germany to Texas in 1847; the intellectual, social, and work life of German Texans in farming communities of Fayette and Blanco counties during the 1840s through the 1890s; the experiences of German Texans who left the United States to work in Mexico and Central America during the U. S. Civil War; and the lives of immediate and extended Romberg family members, particularly Julius, son of Johannes, and father of the author. The typescript also contains a discussion and examples of poetry written by Johannes Romberg.
