Herman Lehmann (June 5, 1859 – February 2, 1932) was captured as a child by Native Americans. He lived first among the Apache and then the Comanche but eventually returned to his family later on in his life. The phenomenon of a "white boy" raised by "Indians" made him a notable figure in the United States. He published his autobiography, ''Nine Years Among the Indians'' in 1927. ==Early life== Herman Lehmann was born near Mason, Texas, on June 5, 1859, to German immigrants Ernst Moritz Lehmann and his wife Augusta Johanna Adams Lehmann. He was a third child, following a brother Gustave Adolph born in 1855, and a sister Wilhelmina who was born in 1857. Following the birth of Herman, the Lehmans had another son William F. born in 1861. Augusta had three more daughters, Emeliyn, Caroline Wilhelmina and Mathilde, but their birth order is unclear, as it is unclear whether these were children of Lehmann or her second husband Buchmeier. The Lehmanns were part of the first wave of Adelsverein settlers who had emigrated from Prussia on the ship ''Louise'',〔Louise, November 8, 1846, Galveston Historical Foundation Immigration Database〕 arriving in Galveston, Texas on November 2, 1846.〔Pioneers in God's Hills (1960) p.255〕 After John O. Meusebach negotiated the Meusebach–Comanche Treaty to open up settlement of the Fisher-Miller Land Grant, the Lehmanns settled on a farm four miles southwest of Loyal Valley. Moritz Lehmann died in 1862, and Augusta married local stonemason Philip Buchmeier in 1863.〔Mochino (2007) p.412〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herman Lehmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
