| Abstract | Heretofore entirely disregarded by literary scholarship, Och's account proves to be an important contribution to eighteenth-century travel literature, but it must also be appreciated as a significant document of German-American literature because of its focus on the Southwest [Mexico and Sonoroa] and the Jesuit experience there. Och's account is remarkable in several respects. Not only did he describe his travel experiences in great and highly vivid detail, but he also freely commented on them from a personal perspecitve, and at times even achieved a poetic level in his account of natural phenomena, his encounter with the Indians, and his personal refelctions upon his missionary ideals. |
