| Abstract | The result of several years' research into what the author calls the "forced emigration"of 1852 from the Hunsrueck-Mosel area of Germany, this richly illustrated monograph begins with an overview of emigration from German-speaking lands to countries such as Brazil and America, then focuses on the former Amt Senheim and its history of emigration. Gossler writes that the mayors of five communities--Senheim, Grenderich, Liesenich, Mittelstrimmig, and Altstrimmig--developed a plan to send the willing poor to America at the cost of the communities. Many of these immigrants came to Wisconsin. Gossler includes a listing of the individuals who departed those communities in 1852, as well as those who emigrated between 1829 and 1890 who were not part of the 1852 groups. The final section examines German emigration to Brazil. |
