Stepping Into Rural Wisconsin (eBook, ePUB)

Grandpa Charlie's Life Vignettes from Prussia to the Midwest

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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!

Autorenporträt

Edward J. Kuehn was born and raised in Ripon, Wisconsin, and is the grandson of Charly Kuehn, on whose life the book is based. After serving in the Wisconsin National Guard, he completed a college degree under the GI Bill and pursued a teaching career. This kindled Ed's curiosity for writing, and his lifelong dream to research and learn more about his first-generation American grandparents. Ed is an avid reader, and in his free time, he likes to write, read, and take long walks through the neighborhood, occasionally dabbling in Haiku. He currently lives in Green Lake, Wisconsin.
