There are many historical memoirs about European immigrants that came to the US in the 1800s, but few shed light on the untold stories of the families that arrived from Prussia. Readers familiar with Laura Ingalls Wilder's account as a child in the big woods of Wisconsin will instantly recognize the landscape and culture that Prussian Immigrants Carl and Hulda found in Ripon. This recollection entertains, educates, and informs readers with fascinating historical details, what a first-generation American life was like in the early 1900s in rural Wisconsin.
Through extensive research with historical societies, documents, photographs, and historical texts, Edward Kuehn and Linda Ruggeri put together the puzzle of Ed's Midwest American family to form a solid picture of his grandparents, taking the reader on a true journey through their life, in early 20th-century America. We identify with the story because of the similarities with our own immigration ancestry. Through a series of biographical vignettes, we learn about the beauty, difficulty, and simplicity of rural family life, all placed within the historical context of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
A true historical gem of a memoir!
