AbstractIn the year 1817, a young German aristocrat, Moritz von Fürstenwärther, arrived in the United States to.... report on the fate of the many German emigrants arriving in America at that time. His report reveals a sometimes unflattering picture of the United States during its formative period, and it illuminates the hardships and difficult conditions faced by many German emigrants both during their journeys and upon their arrival in America.
