New Worlds to Seek: Pioneer Heinrich Leinhard in Switzerland and America, 1824-1846

by Heinrich Lienhard

An adventurer in both the physical and intellectual senses of the word, Heinrich Lienhard was born in Switzerland in 1822 and immigrated to America in 1843. Published here for the first time in either the original German or in English translation, this initial section of Lienhard's enormous manuscript autobiography (more than half a million words) covers the years after his birth through his first several years in America.
