They came from Germany to Texas in 1847, under the auspices of the \"Mainzer Adelsverein\" - the society of noblemen of Mainz, who tried to fill a settlement in Texas with German farmers and craftsmen. Christian \"Vati\" Steinmetz, the clockmaker of Ulm in Bavaria, has brought his sons and daughters: Magda - passionate and courageous, courted by 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, a stolid and practical farmer called by circumstances to be something greater, in the boom years of the great cattle ranches. Their brothers Friedrich and Johann, have always been close - in the Civil War, one will wear Union blue, the other Confederate grey homespun - but never forget they are brothers. And finally, there is Vati's adopted daughter Rosalie, whose life ends as it began - in tragedy. But Vati's family will will survive and ultimately triumph. They will make their mark in Texas, their new land. Adelsverein: It's about love and loss, joy and grief . . . and the sometimes wrenching process of becoming American.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1050\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.13 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47237234065657,"sku":"9780934955843","price":65.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/cHJRN3pIMGJpbjRSK3lBMWNFSGVoZz09_b54065a8-d8c2-4c8a-9ff0-24b5e2cf6449.webp?v=1768539130","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/adelsverein-the-complete-trilogy-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
