My Arrival in Milwaukee
| On June 20, 1856 Hölzlhuber took a two-wheeled horse cart from the Lake Shore Railroad depot in Milwaukee to East Water Street and the home of his hosts, the Vintschger family, whom he had known in Vienna. Here the cart (driven by a German from Cologne named Herrgott) passes pedestrians in front of several buildings, one flying the American flag. That evening at a Sangerfest in the city, he was serenaded by the Milwaukee Singing Society. Taken from Hölzlhuber's description of the scene, translated by Vera Kroner. |
