(Carl) Reinhardt, Carl Reinhart, C. (Carl) Nach Amerika! Ein Volksbuch. Vierter Band E-text prepared by richyfourtytwo, Delphine Lettau, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Nach Amerika! Ein Volksbuch. Vierter Band" by Friedrich Gerstäcker is a historical narrative written in the mid-19th century. This work focuses on the experiences and observations of European immigrants in America, particularly in the region of Arkansas, as they navigate the challenges and wonders of their new environment. The book captures the allure of the American wilderness, exploring themes of adventure, migration, and the encounters between settlers and native populations. The opening of the book introduces a steamboat journey up the Mississippi River, specifically on the "Little Rock," as it makes its way to Fort Smith. The narrator describes the natural landscape and the sparse number of passengers aboard, highlighting the fears that many immigrants hold about venturing too far into the wilderness. Among the characters introduced is Amalie von Seebald, who expresses a romantic yearning to explore the mysterious forest enveloping the area. She meets Charley Fischer, a local familiar with the region, who provides insights into the social dynamics of the settlers and their lifestyles, as well as information on her destination, the estate of the Graf Olnitzki. This segment sets the stage for Amalie's journey into the heart of Arkansas, illustrating her anticipation and trepidation about reconnecting with her sister after many years apart.
