About the Book
Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Reader) Adelsverein: The Sowing is Volume 2 of the Adelsverein Trilogy, following the fortunes of 19th century German settlers who came to Texas seeking land and political freedom. “Vati” Steinmetz and his children have prospered since they arrived in America. His oldest daughter Magda has married Carl Becker, born him children and helped him build a happy life as a rancher in the beautiful valley of the Guadalupe River. Vati’s son-in-law Hansi Richter has become a successful farmer and his son Johann has returned from Germany after years of studying to become a doctor. Ideals, friendship and cruel circumstance collide as the Civil War comes to the Hill Country. Carl Becker and Hansi Richter face mortal danger from the “hanging band”, a pro-Confederate lynch mob seeking to permanently silence the voices of Union sympathizers. Vati’s beautiful adopted daughter Rosalie is in love with a man who intends to serve in the Confederate Army! Meanwhile Johann and his twin brother Friedrich are drawn to serve in the war— but on opposite sides! Adelsverein: The Sowing - Continues the epic story of how one family of German immigrants became American, through the wrenching tragedy of the Civil War!
