Independent Immigrants, A Settlement of Hanoverian Germans in Western Missouri

by Robert W. Frizzell

This book, which focuses on Concordia, Lafayette County, Missouri, reveals much about the rural German immigrant experience in Missouri during the nineteenth century. The book brings to light an easily-overlooked aspect of the Civil War in Missouri -- the role of antislavery Germans living in the midst of Confederate sympathizers. It sheds new light on theological, political and economic circumstances in both the Old and New Worlds during this period of history.
