In
2021, three finely worked sketches dating back to the middle of
the nineteenth century were brought to the attention of scholars
studying the relationship between German settlers and Comanche
Indians. Seemingly the work of one artist, and (with one
exception) never published, the drawings provide a detailed and
unique view of encounters between Germans and Comanches in the
Texas Hill Country. Two of them depict the dramatic transfer of
a captive girl from the Comanches to the Germans. Who was the
girl? Who were the Comanches involved? Who were the Germans?
Where and when did this exchange take place? What do we make of
the rich Indian and German cultural details that the artist
includes? And, of course, who was the artist, and how important
is his work? Trying to find answers to these questions, the
presenters will examine the drawings in detail and decode
information placed by the artist.
Christopher
J. Wickham received
his Ph.D. in the UW–Madison German Department. After 25 years
of teaching at the University of Texas at San Antonio, he
retired in 2017.
Daniel
J. Gelo, is
Dean and Professor of Anthropology Emeritus at the University
of Texas at San Antonio, where he taught for 31 years.
The
two presenters co-authored Comanches
and Germans on the Texas Frontier: The Ethnology of
Heinrich Berghaus, (Texas
A&M University Press, 2018) which has been reviewed in the
Max Kade Institute Newsletter, Fall 2022 issue.
