Rather than as a 49er pursing the California Gold Rush, freethinker Douai fled Germany as a member of the wrong side in the 1848 Revolution, hence the 48er sobriquet. He arrived in the US in 1852 with a piano and a doctorate in philosophy. Viewing his heretofore little-known biography as a clue to the larger picture of German emigration to America, a freelance historian relates Douai's multifaceted career of peaks and valleys as a Texas abolitionist, educator, editor, and Socialist. Illustrations include a few photos of Douai and his wife, and a score that he composed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Adolf Douai
This is an interesting analysis of the Nullification Crisis of 1832-33, but it is written in a rather dry academic style that makes it slow going. I particularly liked Ellis' discussion of how nullification (the idea that any state, based on its sovereignty, may nullify - or refuse to acknowledge - any law passed by the federal government) fits in with various theories of states' rights. He also points out how the convergence of nullification and states' rights theories with efforts to justify slavery helped bring on the Civil War.
