Bobbaro Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Hey, you displaced Heinies living stateside ought to visit Fredercksburg, Tex. You should feel right a home. Its even got American tourists as well as a generous smattering of Europeans in the summer. There is still an oldtimer or two living out in the country, who have to have an offspring along to translate for them. Even those locals, who don't speak German often carry a bit of an accent. Too bad the old population is getting swamped by newcomers (I am one). A big immigration of outsiders is flooding in. This dry country is not constituted to support an unlimited population. Anyway, the Germans came here in 1846 and stuck in spite of the place being a very tough living and way out in Indian country. They cut a treaty with the Commanches which is celebrated as the only Indian treaty in the U.S. which was never broken by either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
