The Czech Texans Life Hard and Grueling Near Dubina Praha and more
Second of six pieces on Czech Texas in San Antonio. Life for immigrant Czech farmers was brutal daily toil from dawn to dusk. Families on isolated farms raised one cash crop, faced insects drought and hail, and endured scarce goods. Notable figures include Joseph Peter Sr and Moritz Kopperl shaping Dubina and Galveston, Praha parish history, and Civil War loyalties of Czech Texans.
