A study of German fiction about America in the nineteenth century that concentrates on three writers: Charles Sealsfield, an escaped Moravian monk who came to New Orleans in 1823; Friedrich Gerstacker, who produced a large body of fiction, travel reportage, and emigration advice; and Karl May, who wrote adventure stories set in an imaginary West.
