A German-American Tale - Memoir of a German Immigrant
A stormy, courageous, and incredible memoir of a German immigrant who crossed the Atlantic Ocean together with his two young daughters in 1834 in hope of finding a better life.
As this book's title suggests, Gustav Streckfuss tells the compelling story of his voyage from Bremen to Philadelphia and his struggle to make a living in the New World.
In this compelling memoir, the author recounts the hopes and dreams, the regrets, the hardships, the times fortune smiled on his life, and his attempts to start a business. As the clock ticks down, the German immigrant's financial struggles reach new heights, and he must find a way to evade the possibility of losing his daughters to indenture.
A German-American Tale is much more than a memoir; it's an adventurous saga and historical account of life in the United States in the early 19th century filled with so many surprising incidents and stories of real people that transport the reader back in time.
