Announcing Author Rolf A. Schmidt’s AUSWANDERERLIED In English! A trilogy of historical novels which shares the story of the Giessen Emigration Society. This was the largest and most organized German immigration group to make their home in Missouri.

The trilogy of novels by Rolf Schmidt comprises three works of facts and fiction. Since they are almost entirely based on historical sources, they have the feeling of factual reports. Excerpts from letters, documents and diaries are woven into the narratives.
