Bold as a Bear

The German Quest for the Iowa Prairie
Researched, compiled,
and written by John Heithoff

If your German ancestors crossed the Atlantic on a steamship bound for New Orleans and went by steamboat up the Mississippi River destined for the Midwest, then this book will reveal what they experienced during their travels. If they set off in a covered wagon for the prairies out west of the Mississippi, then this book will explain what they went through in settling the land.
