Prairieblummen

by Nicolas-Edouard Becker

Prairieblummen is a collection of poetry written by 19th-century Luxembourgish emigrants to the United States. The poems explore themes of nostalgia for the homeland, the challenges and rewards of life in the New World, the experiences of pioneers, the importance of community and religion, and the interplay of American and Luxembourgish cultures. The collection offers a unique glimpse into the lives of these early immigrants and their efforts to create a new home in a foreign land.
