This June 2012 issue features "America Guide" by Johann Rudolf Ochs, which he wrote in 1711. Though inspired by John Lawson's "Voyage to Carolina," Ochs' "Americanischer Wegweiser" is specifically aimed at potential Swiss emigrants, informing them of the provinces in North America; the local inhabitants and wildlife; the land's fertility; and including how and when the journey should be made, expenses, what to take along, and how to purchase land. (122pp. illus. Masthof Press, 2012.)
