Abstract

Clinton Machann and James W. Mendl are already known to readers interested in Czech ethnicity in Texas by a volume entitled Krasna Amerika published in 1983 and recounting the history of the Czech community in Texas, its social structure, religion, folk culture, literature, language, journalism, and eventual assimilation and retention of ethnic identity. The present volume brings the history of Texas Czechs to life by way of reminiscences of immigrants who settled in the Lone Star State.
