Settlement in the Forks of Mill Creek: Settlement in the Forks of Mill Creek
No Customer Reviews
This book describes the settlement of the land in the lower forks of Mill Creek in Austin County, Texas. Originally selected by Stephen F. Austin as payment for his second colonization contract with Mexico, the initial settlers were American immigrants from the southern states and their slaves who operated cotton plantations. After the Civil War the land became a focus for the early Czech settlers to Texas, and became a springboard for their descendants to move to other parts of the state. The primary community on the area is Nelsonville, founded in 1865.
