"Hauser, his wife, Rita, and his teenage son, Huc, spent their years in Missouri farming the land in an effort to raise produce to help feed war-torn Germany. Tackling their task with great energy and commitment, they encountered many of the same challenges that were faced by immigrants more than a century earlier. Through hope and determination, and occasional help from the locals, they managed to salvage the neglected fields and restore an old farmhouse to build what they considered a paradise. Of particular interest is Hauser's account of Huc learning to farm and hunt and his colorful descriptions of the characters that entered the Hausers' lives.".
"My Farm on the Mississippi is a memoir by the German writer Heinrich Hauser about his experiences while living in Perry County in southeast Missouri from 1945 to 1948. Born in Berlin in 1901, Hauser was an accomplished journalist and novelist who had published at least two dozen books by the time he fled Germany for the United States in 1939. In 1945, after an unsuccessful stint as a farmer in upper New York, a brief stay in Chicago, and the publication of three more books, Hauser purchased three hundred acres along the Mississippi near the little town of Wittenberg, Missouri (which succumbed to the Great Flood of 1993).".
