Stillman's letters were first published in The Crayon, a prominent but short-lived journal of landscape art, in 1855. The obscurity of the journal hid the value of the letters until Ron Tyler rescued them. Stillman traveled from Port Lavaca through Anaqua, Goliad, Helena, San Antonio, and as far as the Pecos River. His account supplements the diary of his friend and fellow diarist, Frederick Law Olmsted.

This book is comprised of a series of Stillman's letters from the Texas wilderness giving a remarkable picture of Texas during an important and little-understood time in the state's history.During his six-month stay in Texas, Stillman commented in his letters on geography; the mixing of Spanish colonial, Mexican, southern, German, and black cultures; the settlement of west Texas and the conflicts with Indians, and the social and cultural aspects of life on the frontier. Stillman was especially interested in the German immigrant settlements along the Gulf Coast and spent considerable time there.
