Bryology in Texas - 1. Mosses (Musci)

The bryophyte flora of Texas has hardly been touched. Striking climatic extremes, with variations in time of extreme cold and rainfall, may cause an abundance of plants in one season and a failure in other years. The vast size of the state makes it difficult to cover favorable terrain at propitious seasons. However, the chief cause of the scarcity of collections may be due to the lack of resident collectors who have been and are interested in bryology

Sophia Hammann, An Early Texas Midwife And Herbalist

About 1874, a little old woman came with her husband, William Hammann, to Rabb\u27s Prairie in Fayette County. She had studied and practiced midwifery and herb medicine for many years in her native Alsace-Lorraine. Since at that time there were but few physicians in the county, and since among the German and Czech populations employment of a physician (Arzt) was infrequent, many people, were grateful for her care and services
