My Journey to America 1836-1843

by Jakob Naumann

Anna Hesse translated from German selected portions of Jakob Naumann’s personal account of his journey to America and back to Germany during the years 1836 to 1843. It is an account of one man’s travels, his unsuccessful search for work he liked, his discontent for staying in one place, but always his painstaking recording of everything that seemed of interest. An easy read that provides the reader with a flavor of the joys and sorrows of Midwest immigrants. Translated and illustrated by Anna Kemper Hesse, revised edition.
