Comments on: On German-language newspapers in pre-US* America http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/6365.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

They switched over to publishing in English decades ago, but it is still called The Herald-Zeitung. The editor in the early days was Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer - who also doubled as a naturalist. His plant collections are in insitutions as far away as St. Petersburg, Russia. (New Braunfels was a small town then - people doubled up on jobs!)
