Excerpt from The Gleaner: Anniversary Issue; June, 1922 The migration of our family to the New World mere ly increased my craving for the life in the country. As soon as I was of age, I parted from my beloved ones to satisfy my desire. I found a position on a farm and even though the new conditions were disagreeable to a city fellow who has 'for the first time left home, I soon became accustomed to the new life and thought that my dream was finally realized. I soon discovered that I must acquire a great deal of skill and knowledge before I can become a farmer. Then came the great crisis of my life. I left my position and traveled a thousand miles from home to the National Farm School where I was to receive my training; skill and preparation so as to enable me to mould my future. Now my stay at N. F. S. Is at an end I am ready to go out in the world and apply my acquired acknowledge.

With more than 400 photographs, extensive interviews with the descendants of pioneer Jewish Texan families, and reproductions of rare historical documents, Natalie Ornish’s Pioneer Jewish Texans quickly became a classic following its original release in 1989. This new Texas A&M University Press edition presents Ornish’s meticulous research and her fascinating historical vignettes for a new generation of readers and historians. She chronicles Jewish buccaneers with Jean Lafitte at Galveston; she tells of Jewish patriots who fought at the Alamo and at virtually every major engagement in the war for Texan independence; she traces the careers of immigrants with names like Marcus, Sanger, and Gordon, who arrived on the Texas frontier with little more than the packs on their backs and went on to build great mercantile empires. Cattle barons, wildcatters, diplomats, physicians, financiers, artists, and humanitarians are among the other notable Jewish pioneers and pathfinders described in this carefully researched and exhaustively documented book. Filling a substantial void in Texana and Texas history, the Texas A&M University Press edition of Natalie Ornish’s Pioneer Jewish Texans brings back into circulation this treasure trove of information on a rich and often overlooked vein of the multifaceted story of the Lone Star State.
