Report on a Journey to the Western States of North America

The mass migrations to the United States from Europe that began in the 1830s were strongly influenced by what is known today as emigration literature - travellers' writings about their experiences in the New World. Gottfried Duden's Report on a Journey to the Western States of North America, published in 1829, was one of the most influential of these books.

Migratiile in masa catre Europa din Statele Unite care au inceput in anii 1830 au fost puternic influentate de ceea ce este cunoscut astazi drept literatura despre emigrare - scrierile calatorilor despre experientele lor din Lumea Noua. Raportul lui Gottfried Duden despre o calatorie in statele occidentale ale Americii de Nord, publicat in 1829, a fost una dintre cele mai influente dintre aceste carti.
