| Abstract | From Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, and from isolated frontier farms, newcomers to America wrote back home, capturing in their individual voices the experience of adapting to a profoundly different culture. Here for the first time is a broad cross-section of German immigrant letters--some 350--arranged in 20 different series composed by one individual or family group, some spanning a couple of years, some half a century. |
