In 1842 French banker Henri Castro secured a colonization grant and
recruited more than two thousand Europeans--from France, Germany,
Belgium, Holland, Hungary, and England--to immigrate to Texas and
populate his colony. Here, Bobby D. Weaver describes the impresario
system under which this community, now known as Castroville, was
formed and considers the life of its founder. He also examines the
pioneers' struggles with frontier life--drought, disease, and
Indian attacks. Bobby D. Weaver, who received his Ph.D. from Texas
Tech University, is the author or editor of several books and other
contributions to Texas history.
