Seinen persönlichen Beitrag hierzu hat der ursprünglich aus Leipzig stammende Maler und Journalist jedenfalls erfolgreich geleistet: Mit dem vorliegenden Band legt er ein monumentales Werk deutscher Auswanderergeschichte vor. Beginnend mit der Kolonialzeit bis hin zum Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts skizziert er detailliert die Teilhabe und den Einfluss deutscher Auswanderer sowie ihrer Nachfahren an den unterschiedlichen Aspekten der Entwicklung der nordamerikanischen Kultur.
