Houzeau was a Belgian astronomer who worked a couple of years as assistant astronomer at the Brussels Observatory, but eventually moved to the United States. He was living as a frontierman in Texas when the Civil War broke out, and because he took an abolitionist stance and helped slaves escape, he was forced to flee to Mexico, from where he sailed to New Orleans on board of a US military vessel. Originally titled La terreur blanche au Texas et mon ‘evasion, Houzeau captured the details of his escape in 1862.The editors, an astronomer and a French language teacher, have added supplementary material to give the readers more depth and historical context to the story.. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Abolition of Slavery; Abolitionists; Astronomy Biography; Belgian Astronomer; American Civil War; Civil W | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-46538-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-46538-4Series ISSN 2365-0613 Series E-ISSN 2365-0621 | | issn_series | 2365-0613 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
