Brenham Heritage Museum: Crossroads Speaker Series (Walter Buenger)
January 21, 2025
Please join us at the Brenham Heritage Museum Bus Depot and Gallery on Tuesday, January 21st, 2025 from 5:30-6:30 pm for a fascinating lecture by Walter Buenger, Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin. The topic of his discussion will be: “German Experience in Washington County.”
Buenger has written or co-written four books, co-edited three more, and authored numerous articles and book chapters. His main areas of interest have been the connections between Texas and the South, Texas identity, historiography, the role of memory, the influence of borders, and the construction and evolution of culture in the Southwest. He recently published a co-edited and extensively annotated version of the autobiography of William A. Trenckmann, a German language newspaperman and politician who was born in Texas in 1859 and died in Austin in 1935. He is also writing a re-conceptualization of Texas and the Southwest with the tentative title, “Texas Since 1810: Border Crossings and Shifting Identities over Time.”
