| Abstract | Friedrich Muench, German Lutheran pastor, and one of the leaders of a Duden-inspired emigrant group, settled in 1834 on land neighboring Duden's old property near Dutzow, Missouri. Muench's native pluck, persistence and ingenuity enable him and his family not only to overcome early travails, but to create a model farm and vineyard in what was originally a forest wilderness. With the rise of German immigration to the US, Muench conceived the idea of writing a book to prepare prospective German emigrants so they might better adjust to the New World after they arrived. |
