| Abstract | Most of the millions of persons who poured into the United States during the past three hundred years somehow managed to make new homes in their adopted country. But some did not. A few, like Karl Ludwig Wilhelm Pflaume of the town of Aschersleben in Prussia, merely tarried, then returned home. Pflaume's twelve years here, from 1851 to 1863, constituted a prolonged tour of inspection. From his base in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, he examined America's condition, developed a farm (of which much is still in production), and acquired the material for a literary career that occupied the rest of his life back in Germany. |
