One Families Journey,
By Keith Strassner (Rolla, Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Knights to Pioneers: One German Family in Westphalia and Missouri (Hardcover)
A wonderful look into one families journey to America. The first part (early German history) I found a little dry, but the last 2/3 are wonderful intimate view into the lifes of a family attempt to live, work and prosper in frontier Missouri. If you have German ancestors who came to Missouri in the 1800's this is a must read.

terrific book about one Missouri family's immigrant history,
By A Customer
This review is from: From Knights to Pioneers: One German Family in Westphalia and Missouri (Hardcover)
This book is a rare find. It follows a German family from the 1300's through their immigrant descendants who settled in Missouri in the 1830's. The attention to detail is amazing. You will feel as if you know this family when you are done reading. The story is so compelling because it could be anyone's family. These things happened to all of our families at one point or another. This book is not only an excellent family story but also an incredibly good account of the early history of Missouri.
