AbstractMany Jesuit missionaries who came to the New World, and in particular to Mexico and the Sonoran Desert were from German speaking countries. They left extensive accounts in Latin, Spanish and German. Those with a broader appeal, supposed to serve as informative but also entertaining literature were written in German. In this essay, the author focuses on their contribution to the history of German literature, more specifically, to German-American literature.
