| Abstract | Inspired by her grandmother's recollections of "Uncle Naumann," Anna Kemper Hesse selected and translated these writings from Jakob Naumann's Reise nach den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, first published in Leipzig in 1850, which contradict some of the glowing reports of the "paradise" or utopian life to be found by German immigrants to the American frontier. |
