North America, Particularly Texas in the Year 1849: A Travel Account
A Book for Emigrants, Especially for Persons Enthusiastic About Emigration

by Wilhelm Steinert

“Wilhelm Steinert went from Germany to America in 1849.  Like many others, he wanted to write a travelogue. Unlike most, Steinert sailed to New Orleans.  He journeyed on to Texas, stayed a while, and ascended the Mississippi before he headed home through New York.  Steinert experienced America, as well as observed it.  His “Book for Emigrants” shows us all that he saw and felt, including his loss of illusions.  Among books of its sort, it is a gem.”

Edward Countryman, A People in Revolution: The American Revolution and Political Society in New York, 1760-1790 (Winner of the Bancroft Prize in American History) and Americans: A Collision of Histories
