Excerpt from A Texas Pioneer: Early Staging and Overland Freighting Days on the Frontiers of Texas and MexicoI was born in the city of Hanover, Germany, on the 28th day of February, 1845, and I was three and a half months old when my parents emigrated from that country and brought me with a sister and brother to America. We made the voyage in a sailing vessel, the Charles Williams, which left Bremen with a full crew and one hundred and thirty passengers on board. The city of Galveston, Texas, was sighted about the middle of July, 1845, after making a safe voyage of seven weeks' duration, but many of those who greeted the land of their adoption with joyful expectations were destined to a watery grave when entering the harbor.I do not know what brought about the catastrophe, but my parents, who gave me this information, said that the ship was stranded when passing through the channel leading into Galveston Bay, about half a mile from shore, where it was broken to pieces, and the wreck could be seen as late as 1885. Only thirty-five of the passengers were saved, and they were rescued by a life-boat that was sent from the shore. Among them was an infant boy, about two years of age, who was thrown to my parents after they entered the boat, by some one on the vessel, under the impression that the child belonged to our family. Fortunately the boat conveyed its living freight safely to land, but none of the desolate people could comprehend their losses until they congregated on shore, and one of those who realized them least was the author of these memoirs, who at the age of five months was thus transferred from the wreck of a ship and placed on the soil of Texas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A 'You Are There' book By Bob You can't get a better dirt-in-your-finger-nails tale of frontier life than this. Mr. Santleben was a freighter moving goods and money between San Antonio and Mexico. The details of the freighting business, the troubles with bandits and Indians on remote 'roads', and the rising competition with other freighters are all told very, very well. I would buy this book simply for the pleasure of experiencing what he experienced. You are there.

Very Informative By Bay Rat Persons interested in how frontier business was conducted and the social intercourse of citizens on both sides of the Rio Grande will really enjoy this book. The undoubtedly was there, did that, and endured. A really great read about the nature of westTexas in it's frontier days. I recommend this book to those interested in more of Texas than just Indian raids.
