MARCH TO THE VOLGA
It is the year 1764 in a land far different from the Germany today, a land ruled by feudal princes and religious zealots. The terrible Seven Years€ War is done, but the tales of religious atrocities from the long past Thirty Years€ War are still fresh in the minds of all. No tolerance at this time; the Catholics and Protestants openly hate each other.
A young Lutheran country couple, along with a strange new city friend, slowly travels from village Heilbronn north to Lbeck, one step at a time towards the €œPromised Land.€ Sailing on to Russia, and walking across much of it, the couple is there to build the Volga Colony of Balzer. Over the next 130 years, they and their many descendants triumph over evils and carve out a bountiful life, before again moving on to the new €œPromised Land€ AMERICA, settling in the San Joaquin Valley around Fresno, California.
D. Philipp Kaiser is a published author with 13 non-fiction books and fictional novels. MARCH TO THE VOLGA is the first in his series of historical fiction novels based on a Deutsche family as they leave Germany for the Volga Colonies in the 1760€s. It follows their descendants€ lives for over a century along with their final emigration in the 1890€s to America.
