| Abstract | "Pelz, who was born on September 9, 1800, at Penig, Saxony, was a Forty-eighter of colorful personality. He was well educated, widely traveled, good-hearted to the degree of ill-advised generosity, sharp-witted, and fearless in his literary efforts. And it was his unshakable conviction that German emigrants should go to Minnesota and Minnesota only. . . . Although Pelz's knowledge of Minnesota was only superficial, no other German wrote more about the state or recommended it more enthusiastically and persistently to his countrymen." |
