Book by Friedel Schuette: Westfalen in America 40 photos of immigrants
From Paderborn and Westfalen
Friedel Schuette, an honorary member of our society, gave a lecture on his
book
that was published in October 2005: The title: Westfalen in America (in
English: Westphalians in America),
256 pages, with many pictures, ISBN:3-7843-3356-7.Publisher's website:
www.lv-h.de (search for "Westfalen
in Amerika"). Schuette portrays about 40 men and women who immigrated to the
US where they became either
famous pioneers and/or successful entrepreneurs. He calls them "heroes",
among them William Boeing,
forefather of the founders of Boeing aircraft. As far as a Paderborn citizen
is concerned he gives the story of
Sister Pauline von Mallinckrodt who helped develop the American elementary
school system in the 19th century.
He also describes the sister-city relationships between Westphalia and the
US, where he praises what
Belleville and Paderborn have achieved.
