Kohlberg family.

The Kohlbergs were successful business and civic leaders who made important contributions to the development of El Paso and West Texas. Ernst Kohlberg was born in 1857, in Beverungen in Westphalia, at the time a province of Prussia. While employed by Solomon C. Schutz, he traveled to El Paso in 1875. He wrote a series of letters home describing his experiences. His father saved the letters and returned them to Ernst, whose son Walter later translated them. They became the basis of the book Letters of Ernst Kohlberg 1875-1877.
