Herman Ehrenberg (October 17, 1816 â€" October 9, 1866) was surveyor
and Texian soldier who is one of the few survivors of the Goliad
Massacre. During his escape, he purportedly yelled "The Republic of
Texas forever!", which popularized the catchphrase "Texas forever!".A
native of Germany, Ehrenberg (de) joined the military volunteer unit
the New Orleans Greys and fought against Mexico in the Texas
Revolution. His memoirs of the Revolution were published in Germany in
the 1840s and translated into English in the 20th century.Ehrenberg
created the first map of the Gadsden Purchase. Ehrenberg, Arizona is
his namesake.Ehrenberg's early life is the subject of some discussion.
According to historian James Crisp, "the majority of what has been
published about him consisted of misinformation". A frequently
repeated story is that Ehrenberg was the son of William von Ehrenberg,
an official at the royal court of Frederick William III.[Note 1] In
this version, which is supported by historian H. W. Brands but which
Crisp maintains has "not a shred of evidence to suggest that [it] is
true", Ehrenberg later attended the Friedrich Schiller University of
Jena, where he became involved in protests against the government. Herman Ehrenberg Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
