| Abstract | In 1837. . .settlers from Germany created a 'New Fatherland' on the banks of the Missouri River, which resembles the Rhine. They built a little town and named it Hermann, after a first-century Germanic chieftain. Soon literature, poetry, and music flourished. Within decades, wines from the hills surrounding Hermann won world acclaim. Rootstocks from these vineyards are even credited with having the Old World's viticulture from destruction by the Phylloxera plague in the 1870s. |
