Excerpt from Ebenezer: Reviews of the Work of the Missouri Synod During Three Quarters of a CenturyIn the second quarter of the nineteenth century a flood of immigrants from the British Isles and Germany began to pour into the United States. Before the close of the century millions had settled in the States east of the Mississippi and the States of the Louisiana Purchase, of which St. Louis was the emporium and base from which immigration radiated. These settlements, together with the tidal wave of newcomers from Southern and Eastern Europe, who were swept to our hospitable shores in the first fifteen years of the twentieth century, mark the greatest migrations in the history of the world. The most remarkable characteristic of this rearrange ment of world population is that the immigrants left their former habitations, moved, not by national or group impulses, but on the initiative and decision of the individual. Only in a few instances do we find a relatively small body of men organized for this purpose.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
