Thousands of our German compatriots emigrate to the United States every year. The majority of them are not only unfamiliar with the English language but often arrive here with little to no knowledge about their new homeland. The German emigrant Bernhard Miller provides valuable and useful insights about the United States in this volume. Miller begins by describing emigration in general and highlights the advantages of emigrating to the USA. Furthermore, his work includes extensive information about the history, states, borders, mountains and waters, climate, economy, currency, politics, and much more. This book is a careful reprint of the long out-of-print original edition from 1873 and remains an interesting read for all interested readers today.
