| Abstract | The following two letters, written some forty years apart, are of interest to historians, sociologists, theologians, and anyone else interested in the humanities. They were written by Carl Johann Holtermann--in 1890, a young German Lutheran pastor at Cole Camp, Missouri, and in 1931, a retired American Lutheran pastor at Rock Island, Illinois. A comparison between the two letters reveals how, over the period of forty years, Carl Johann had become Americanized in his outlook. |
