Texas Quest

In the 1870s thousands of Europeans looked for a way to get to North America. Christian Schulz slipped out of Germany in the middle of the night in a snowstorm. It took a lot of courage to board the illegal, rickety old sailing ship bound for Texas. The smelly, ruthless captain warned the 177 passengers that half of them would probably die. They would face disease, pirates, rats, hunger, thirst and the sting of the Captain's whip. Time would later prove him right.
