This work is dedicated to the two most important Texas men in my life: My husband, Tobin Hoffmann And My Dissertation Advisor, Terry Jordan-Bychkov
Acknowledgements In 1991 while researching an undergraduate history paper on the German Texans, I came across a book that forever changed my academic career. That book was Terry Jordan’s German Seed in Texas Soil: Immigrant Farmers in Nineteenth-Century Texas. I cannot describe my jubilation as I poured over his maps and dialogue describing central Texas German farmers. Though it took me a while to get to the discipline, it was my first encounter with cultural geography and I was hooked. I earned two degrees in History before finding my way to the Geography department at the University of Texas at Austin. Before that time I busied myself with research on the Germans in Texas and continued to be a fan of Terry Jordan’s work. I finished my Master’s degree and began to look into doctoral programs. I discussed the situation with a close colleague, Dr. Richard Milk at Texas Lutheran University, and he suggested the obvious to me. He told me that since Terry Jordan was at the University of Texas I should apply there. I felt ashamed for a moment that I had not thought of the idea. However, embarrassment turned to excitement at the thought of working with one so well known. The next thing I knew I was in Jordan’s office discussing geography! The next few years I completed my course work taking classes with so many wonderful geographers. It did not take me long to know that I had found my intellectual “home.” Throughout this time I got to know Terry Jordan very well and found a kindred spirit. When it came time to find a dissertation supervisor, I knew I wanted to work with him while I researched the German-Texans. I told him I wanted to do a comparison of v
