The last of the papers established in 1869, the Texas Post,
which succeeded the Texas Demokrat of Houston, began publi-
cation at Galveston. In 1872 or 1873 this paper was published at
Houston and then returned to Galveston until October, 1887,
when it was transferred to Dallas. In 1891 the Texas Post once
more returned to Galveston, where it remained until it ceased
publication in 19o2.
One new newspaper appeared in 1872. The Texas Deutsche
Zeitung at Houston was established sometime during the year,
with Lehmann and Loescher as editors, and continued publica-
tion under various names until 1917. On June 23, 1892, the Texas
Deutsche Zeitung appeared as Texas Anzeiger and was published
under this name until 1894. From 1895 to 1901 it was published
as Deutsche Zeitung und Anzeiger, and from 1901 until 1917 it
again appeared as Texas Deutsche Zeitung. Beilage der Texas
deutschen Zeitung, an alternate issue of the Texas Deutsche Zei-
tung, was published from 1910 to 1915.
Two German newspapers joined the growing list of Texas pub-
lications in 1873. Der Unabhiingige was established in Galveston,
with J. H. Baker as editor and publisher, and the Bastrop
Deutsche Zeitung, edited and published by Henry Miiller and
Eugen von Boeckmann, began publication on September 27,
1873. The Bastrop Deutsche Zeitung was moved to Brenham in
June, 1874, where it appeared in enlarged format as the Texas
Volksbote until publication was suspended in 1918.
On May 21, 1874, the San Antonio Freie Presse stated that
there were eight German language newspapers in Texas, includ-
ing the Austin Texas Staats Bulletin and a Fredericksburg journal
that appeared under several different names, both of which were
established in May, 1874. Arranged according to the date of their
establishment the newspapers were: Neu-Braunfelser Zeitung
(1852), Freie Presse fiir Texas (San Antonio, 1865), Texas Post
(Galveston, 1869, a continuation of Texas Demokrat), Houston
