German Influences in Texas

Paper Summary:

This examines how Texas' history is deeply infused with German influence because, in the early 1800s, Texas was portrayed in Germany as an available new territory with large plots of fertile land and much wild game, which attracted many Germans to Texas. The author points out that the research is limited to a historical exploratory analysis of German influence in Texas and oral interviews to provide additional information about the modern 'trends' in Texan culture and the extent to which natives believe German influence is still present within the state culture and identity.

From the Paper:

"The researcher proposes that the questions developed for oral interviews remain brief and 'open ended' in order to insure that as much information as possible is gathered from participants. Questions will focus on the individuals background (cultural decent), perceptions of German influence in Texas, and likes/dislikes about perceived influences in Texas culture. From the information gathered from the oral interviews and literature review, the researcher will propose conclusions regarding the relevance of German influence in Texas culture today."
