The Doubrava Family, One That Did Not Stay
One day, early in the Civil War, a recently arrived Czech Texan was working in his field, when suddenly he was surrounded by a pack of blood-hounds. In a moment a Confederate guerrilla captain stepped into the clearing and told young Ferdinand Doubrava that he was being inducted into the Confederate army. The problem was complicated because Doubrava did not speak English. Finally, after a lenghty exchange of documents, the immigrant proved himself to be a subject of the Austrian empire. The captain and his dogs left, but the incident sealed the young Czech's dislike for Texas. When the war ended he and his family moved to Wisconsin.
The arrival of the Doubrava family in Texas was unpromising at the outset. They came from Moravia after a particularly difficult and unpleasantt voyage of 14 weeks and 2 days. The vessel in which they sailed was later described as a "two-masted tub." Almost as soon as they arrived, the family determined to return to their native Moravia. However, the Civil War interfered. Ferdinand Doubrava had never held a plow in his hand and had never driven a yoke of oxen. In fact, he said later, "I knew less about plowing than did the oxen themselves." During the war the family suffered from typhoid fever and malaria. Doctors' calls were $25 apiece, and medicine cost a small fortune. Flour was a dollar a pound and scarce, even at that price. Sugar, tea and coffee were simply nonexistent. Throughout the conflict Doubrava continued growing cotton, which he somehow managed to conceal form the Confederates. When peace came he sold his four-year cotton crop to a northern firm for a large sum of gold and quickly departed for Wisconsin.
