Nine Years with the Indians, published in 1927, told the story of Herman
Lehmann, a German Texan who spent nine years of his youth as an
Indian captive. Lehmann was returned to his Mason County family in
1878, and in 1885 he married a woman from Loyal Valley. The return to
European culture was difficult, however. In 1901 Lehmann was de-
clared a Comanche Indian by an act of Congress and given a headright
in Indian Territory. In 1926 he left his family in Oklahoma and returned
to Loyal Valley, where he spent the remainder of his life. A New Look
at Nine Years with the Indians is an updated edition of Lehmann's story.

The entire issue of St. Mary's Law Journal, XVIII, no. 1 (1986) is de-
voted to a study by Hans W. Baade titled "The Historical Background
of Texas Water Law-A Tribute to Jack Pope." Baade describes four
stages of Texas water law:
the Spanish and Mexican system prevailing until 1840; the "Western" variant of
the riparian system until 1889; a "dual system" tortuously combining riparian-
ism with prior appropriation [until 1967]; and finally, a centrally administered
licensing system subject to judicial approval and control. (p. 97)
Baade's ninety-eight-page study examines the Spanish and Mexican
system in detail, with one chapter devoted to "The Public Domain of
Spanish and Mexican Texas and Its Disposal" and another to "The
Water Law of Spanish and Mexican Texas." Baade, who contributed an
article on the University of Texas Law School to the October 1982 Quar-
terly, is Hugh Lamar Stone Professor of Civil Law at UT, Austin.
Autrement, a popular French journal, devoted its October 1986 issue
to the Lone Star State. Titled Texas... et le rave amiricain [Texas ... and
the American dream], the 235-page issue offers a journalistic survey of
contemporary social, financial, political, literary, and cultural topics.411
