Brains for Breakfast
Growing Up German in America

ISBN 0-9631258-7-7
Historic Idaho Series

Susan Baumgartner

This book is a reflection. It is a small piece of the big, confusing puzzle of nationality and heritage and disposition and potential. The diversity of the Germans who came to this country--Catholics, Protestants, peasants and craftsmen -- was met head on by the diversity of America itself. As German people moved across the land, they changed the land, but also were changed in turn. The book offers both general information for German Americans who know very little about their heritage and a vivid picture of northern Idaho farm life from the 1880s through the 1990s.
5.5x8.5, 160 pages, Paper.
