Aprašymas

March to the Volga is the first of my series of novels spinning the stories of Deutsche families as they leave Germany for the Volga Colonies. It follows their lives and their descendants' lives for over a century along with their final emigration in the 1890's to America. In this tale, it is 1764 in a land far different from Germany today, a land of feudal princes and religious zealots. The Seven Years' War is over, but the religious atrocities of the long past Thirty Years' War are still in the minds of all. No tolerance at this time; the Catholics and Protestants openly hate each other. A Lutheran country couple, along with a strange new city friend, slowly travel from village Heilbronn north to Lübeck, towards the "Promised Land." Sailing to Russia, and walking across much of it, the couple is there to build the Balzer Colony. Over the next 130 years, they and their many descendants carve out a bountiful life, before again moving on to a new "Promised Land," AMERICA. More at www.DarrelKaiserBooks.com
