Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Gillespie County is home to the iconic Fredericksburg known for its classic German architecture and small-town feel. Nearby Johnson City was the birthplace of 36th President Lyndon Baines Johnson, who brought numerous modern advances to the regions during the early parts of the twentieth century. In 1842 the Adelsverein was formed in Germany to allow immigrants to settle throughout Texas. Some six hundred German families participated in the program and arrived in Texas the same year. These settlers established numerous communities in Gillespie County, the largest being Fredericksburg. They maintained a deep sense of German culture, traditions, and architecture.
By the latter portion of the nineteenth century, the region was experiencing a significant period of growth and transformation spurred by advances in rail lines, rich agricultural productivity, and increased immigration. Gillespie County was formally created in 1848 from the neighboring Bexar and Travis counties following a petition from predominantly German settlers. Texas gained statehood in 1849 following a period as an independent nation after the conclusion of the Mexican-American War.
Texas did not suffer the same destruction as other southern states during the Civil War and had rebuilt its economy by the time of this publication as one of the most iconic states of the south Texas maintains a distinct culture and place in American history. This piece bears a unique aesthetic and distinctive style that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present.
