Synopsis

The Old German Letters tells the story of Peter Strobel and Carolyn Marie Baus of Germany, who immigrated to America in the 1880s, and their descendants. This book traces the history of the family back to the 1700s in Limbach (BA) Bayern, and their long Atlantic voyage to America. It reviews their childhood and young adulthood in Bayern (Bavaria) and their lives in Williams County, Ohio. Peter was a braumeister (beer maker), a mill hand and lumber jack, and finally a farmer.
