| Abstract | Adolf Heinrich Strodtmann immigrated to the United States in the summer of 1852 and settled in Philadelphia, only to return to Germany after four years and to make a name for himself there as a poet, journalist, translator, and literary historian. Strodtmann was a close friend of Carl Schurz, both in Germany and in America. While in Philadelphia, and with financial help from his father, Strodtmann had opened a German bookstore and lending library and had started publishing a weekly German literary magazine, Die Locomotive. However, because his bookstore and publishing business did not bring in sufficient funds and the money from his father was exhausted, Strodtmann was forced to close his bookstore in 1854 and cease publishing Die Locomotive. For the next two years he supported himself by writing for German-American newspapers in New York City and translating contemporary American literature into German. |
