About this book
George von Skal pairs an account of German migration to the United States with profiles of successful immigrants and their descendants, for readers interested in migration history and individual careers. At Trossingen, Matthias Hohner’s harmonica business grew into a network of factories, which his sons took over after his retirement. William Wicke’s profile follows another industrial career, from silk goods and cigar-box materials to a Brooklyn factory after fire destroyed the company’s New York plant.
