Abstract"Albert F. W. Grimm was one of the most prolific German American writers in the United States, and his literary works . . . based on his experiences as a Lutheran pastor for over three decades, reveal the impact that German settlers had on the social an religious life of America, especially in the Upper Midwest and Wisconsin. . . . Specifically they provide a picture of the role of German settlers played in the development of Wisconsin, the establishment of mission congregations by traveling pastors and lay leadership, how church schools maintained religious and ethnic unity, of life and behavior in these early rural settlements, and the important role played by the pastor and school teacher in these pioneer communities."
