| Abstract | An anecdotal history of the early years of First St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Chicago. From the back cover: "For Leonhard Wuer, son of a successful businessman in early nineteenth-century Germany, America -- and Chicago, its great and promising city by the sea -- is a distant and exciting dream. But when Leonhard finally reaches the New World, he finds that it offers more than just a dream. For Leonhard, the New World means struggle, hardship, and -- finally -- a new home for himself and his legacy. Based in part on the life of the author's grandfather, City by the Sea is firmly rooted in historical fact, and chronicles the real-life struggles of German Lutherans as they strove to establish their faith in Chicago and throughout the New World." |
