Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from German American Annals, 1909, Vol. 7: Continuation of the Quarterly Americana Germanica
Boos-waldeck 25 bought an extraordinarily favorable piece of land in Fayette County for gulden. It contained good wood and water and showed the practical side of the purchaser. The land consisted of a league and was situated on Jack Creek, about fifteen miles from the Colorado River. He made of this a cotton plantation and worked it with about thirty slaves.26 He was recalled, and returned in January, 1844, and reported against emigration en masse, because there was not enough money for that kind of an undertaking.
