1846WRCAM17477New Braunfels 1846. Printed indenture 10 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches executed in ink. Some old folds light soiling. "55" written in red pencil in top blank margin. Very good. Printed indenture executed in ink and signed in full by John O. Meusebach as Trustee of the German Emigration and Rail-Road Company drawing on the banking firm of H. Flersheim in Frankfurt for the sum of $3000 to be deposited to the account of the Company dated December 12. Meusebach a highly educated and civilized man came to Texas from Germany in 1845 to succeed Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels as commissioner-general of the Verein zum Shutze Deutscher Einwanderer in Texas in the course of which he assumed Texas citizenship oversaw the affairs of the colonists and accomplished the 1847 treaty with the Comanche chiefs which made colonization possible. This document coming from the period of his service to the Verein no doubt represents a draft for funds to further the establishment of the colony the cities of New Braunfels and Fredericksburg and the attempted settlement of the financial horror show which Prince Carl left behind. A superb piece signed by one of the major figures of early Texas colonization. unknown books

Frederick Widder was a key figure having been appointed co-commissioner in 1839 leading to improved efficiency in the company's operations.

18621107New York 1862. Very good. Broadside 12.5 x 8 inches. Previously folded. Light wear and scattered discoloration. An unrecorded 1862 circular from the American Emigrant Company intended to soothe jittery purchasers who had not yet received deeds to lands in Iowa or received instructions for travel and moving arrangements to their new homesteads. The company was established during the Civil War to entice European immigrants to the United States particularly Germans and Scandinavians westward with promises of land and employment. At the outset of their business however they apparently had difficulty in obtaining clear title to land that they had already offered stating herein that: "The company can make no use whatever of the lands until the title to the same has been perfected in the county. Hence the importance of giving this branch of the matter their first and undivided attention. A large number of applications are already registered of those who wish to make a home in Iowa and the Company are only waiting the opportunity to forward them immediately." Another source of concern came from previous settlers of Iowa as to the desirability of the emigrants being offered land to which this circular responded: "Some anxiety is manifested on the part of many 'old settlers' as to the character and ability of the 'Emigrants' intended for Iowa. To such as well as all other proper inquiries we are ever pleased to respond to in the frankest manner. In no instance will contracts be made with settlers not having sufficient means and in all other respects being competent to perform their contract." The American Emigrant Company proved to be quite a successful venture and operated well into the late-19th century but this circular provides evidence of its early difficulties. unknown books
