Overview
It was the Saxon Lutheran immigrants who founded the churches that have led to the largest Lutheran church bodies, such as The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, in the United States today.
This book is an English translation of an 1867 account of that Lutheran migration written by immigrant pastor J. F. Koestering. It compiles eyewitness accounts and personal reflections on the journey from German homeland to unfamiliar American soil, richly expressing the efforts, values, and aspirations of the Saxons as they forged their legacy.
