| Abstract | In 1851, Wilhelm Krueger, his wife Minnie, and their children left Pomerania and migrated to Watertown, Wisconsin. There they joined a Prussian community that had been in existence for nearly a decade. Wilhelm Krueger left behind his parents, Martin and Sophia Krueger, and a brother Heinrich and his family. The letters they wrote to Wilhelm are now part of the so-called Krueger collection at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. These documents, which span the period from 1856 to 1890, contain a wealth of historical, cultural, and linguistic material. |
