| Summary |
"In the last years of Lindheimer's life, one of his students worked with him to collect an assortment of his essays and articles from the Zeitung. The collection was published as "Aufsätze und Abhandlungen von Ferdinand Lindheimer im Texas" (Essays and Articles of Ferdinand Lindheimer in Texas) in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1879. John E. Williams now offers the first English translation of these essays, which will provide valuable insight into the natural and cultural history of Texas"-- Provided by publisher. |
