The Forty-Eighters of Possum Creek: A Texas Civil War Story is a departure for State House Press. This remarkable work of vintage historical fiction focuses on the life of one young man, Kuno Sartorius, who grows up and comes of age in a community of educated German immigrants during the waning months of the Civil War. Author William Trenckmann serialized the novel in his newspaper, Das Bellville Wochenblatt [The Bellville Weekly]. His novel, Die Lateiner am Possum Creek is one of the few works of fiction to treat the plight of the minority Texas Germans during the war. However, it is more than a German story, and provides vignettes of all aspects of life, and of all classes in Texas, on both the home front and the Trans-Mississippi theater. Throughout are the young men from all walks of life brought together by Confederate conscription and facing the same hardships of war. Expertly translated and annotated by James C. Kearney, this novel becomes a shadow memoir of the American Civil War. The educated German settlers of Millheim had fled their native land because of strife and revolution, choosing the bucolic life on the Texas frontier over the sophisticated university towns of Germany. Their children, though, faced uncertainties of their own as Texas seceded and joined the Confederacy and depended on all military aged men to do their part in a cause few Germans in the neighborhood cared for, and to perpetuate slavery which most abhorred. Kearney's notes help the reader navigate the story, and reveal the "story behind the story."

Excerpt from Additional Facts, Observations, and Conjectures Relative to the Generation of the Opossum of North-America: In a Letter From Professor Barton to Professor J. A. H. Reimarus, of Hamburgh You can easily conceive, why the intercourse be tween your country and my own is thus interrupted, and difficult. We, too, are engaged in war: a war long looked for by many: a war I believe unavoidable and just, -solemnly just, - on the part of America, between her and the mother country. Whatever may be the result of this war, which already has added dignity to the name and character of the united-states; though it is certain, that it will deprive us of many comforts, and advantages, and luxuries; and among others of the sweet luxury of tasting the science and literature of Europe, I have no doubt that we shall long continue to be a free, a great, and a happy people.

Slaughtered along our highways, roadkill may be observed regularly, but aren't likely to be given much thought. Research scientists, animal rights activists, roadkill artists, writers, ethicists and lyricists, however, are increasingly sounding the alarm. They report that we are killing the very animals we love, and are driving many of them to the brink of extinction. Detailing the death and destruction of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insect pollinators, this study examines the ways in which we are thus jeopardizing our own futures. Beginning in the Model T era, biologists counted the common carnage of the time--cottontails, woodchucks, and squirrels, mostly. That record-keeping continues today. Beyond the bleak statistics, zoologists are rerouting migratory paths of animals and are advocating for cat and dog companions. This book illuminates both our successes and failures in keeping animals out of harm's way and what those efforts reflect about ourselves and our capacity to care enough to alter the road ahead.

In the 1940's Jules Busch is a poor but independent bachelor who lives in the Little Dixie part of Missouri called Possum Walk. Possum Walk is a small agricultural community (not a town) and it is primitive (mud roads, no electricity, no indoor plumbing, wood stoves for heating and cooking, and the like). The people of Possum Walk work their subsistence farms and only a few can afford tractors. Most use horse drawn and hand equipment. The depression, which is over in certain places, still holds a firm grip here. The nearest towns, Mexico and Centralia, are also small. Jules leads a somewhat dissolute life and some refer to him as "poor white trash." Certainly he is so regarded in the community, as is his brother and mother. He has yearnings however of which he is not fully conscious. He is not sure who his father was, and even the one who so claimed, died before Jules knew him. Jules is rejected by the Army for duty in WW II because of a heart murmur. He only has a eighth grade education, however he is quite intelligent, a fact of which he is not initially aware. He has two friends, John Harrison and Willy Woolf. Harrison is a poor but well respected farmer and Woolf own a large property and is the area's rich man. Jules roams the country roads on his horse Rhony, and wears two revolvers like an old time bad man. Most respectable people keep well clear of him, at least in public, but he seems to have ample lady friends. He lives on a small isolated acreage in the middle of forest land owned by Woolf. Woolf sold him the property after Jules won a big poker pot. Wiley, his dog, is Jules' closest companion, and helps protect the property when Jules is away. Harrison encourages Jules to give up his destructive ways which include adultery, general philandering, gambling, and drinking. This good advice has little effect until Harrison dies and Jules takes a close look at himself and doesn't like what he sees. He has promised Harrison to reform sometime and realizes it's now time. He listened to Harrison, because Harrison always treated him with respect, something that few others did. Harrison also helped get him out of jail more than once. Jules believes he needs to repay his moral debt to John by helping the Harrison family (Eloise the mother, and Mary, Jany, and Jimmy the children). In particular he believes he needs to advise Harrison's young son Jimmy, more or less as John Harrison advised him. He begins to clean up his life by dropping a relationship with a married woman, Grecia Kuhn, and by getting a part time job. Along with "Uncle Tyrone," Harrison's somewhat disreputable hobo brother who arrives after John's death, Jules begins to help the Harrison family. The Harrison's sell their farm and move to Columbia, MO where the children can economically obtain degrees at the University of Missouri. Jules further troubles include the suicide of his brother triggered by the brother and his wife accidentally smothering their baby who slept in their bed. In addition the anger of the brothers (Heintz and Herman) of Klaus Kuhn, who Jules has cuckolded, causes problems. Jules is convinced by Willy Woolf that he needs to further his education as an aid to turning his life around and resolving the moral debts he owes to others and indeed to himself. To that end he works to earn a High School Equivalency and then goes to the University of Missouri where he earns a bachelor's degree (in physics), and eventually a law degree. Hard continuous study, as well as living in a cosmopolitan (for its time) town and being judged by students and professors, is a difficult adjustment for Jules After graduation, Woolf helps him join a law firm in Mexico and Jules takes over the job of working with farmers to assist them with government programs, obtaining loans, taxes, and in other ways. He also has the opportunity to aid John Harrison's son and thus square his obliga
