Boone. a son of the great hunter. On his return to Germany Herr Duden wrote a very remarkable book describing the new country. This book directed the attention of all intelligent Germans to this country. with the result that an enormous German immigration set in to that part of Missouri. Germans are proverbial home makers and home builders. With their integrity and their thrift they add enormously to the stability of any community. From that day to this German immigration to Missouri has been a steady stream. The German immigrants. unlike some late comers from other countries. are home makers who become at once a part of their adopted State. They are not of the transient. shifting species. but every German family is an addition to the economic strength of the community. This visit of an intellectual German to America has had a farreaching influence on the history of Missouri. to which but little credit has been attached.
