The Arts and Architecture of German Settlements in Missouri

A Survey of a Vanishing Culture

By: Charles Van Ravenswaay

Many Germans who immigrated to America in the nineteenth century settled in the lower Missouri River valley between St. Charles and Boonville, Missouri. In this magnificent book, which includes some six hundred photographs and drawings, Charles van Ravenswaay examines that immigration--who came, how, and why--and surveys the distinctive Missouri-German architecture, art, and crafts produced in the towns or on the farms of the rural counties of Cooper, Cole, Osage, Gasconade, Franklin, Montgomery, Warren, and St. Charles from the 1830s until the closing years of the century. As the immigrants sought to transplant their native culture to the Missouri backwoods, the compromises they were forced to make with conditions in Missouri produced many fascinating and individualistic structures and objects. They built half-timbered, stone, and brick houses and barns with designs reflecting the traditions of the many German regions from which the builders emigrated. The author's far-reaching study of immigrants' arts and crafts included furniture in traditional peasant designs as well as the Biedermeier and eclectic styles, redware and stoneware pottery, textiles, wood and stone carving, metalwares, firearms, baskets, musical instruments, prints, and paintings and identifies craftsmen working in all of these fields. One chapter is devoted to the objects the immigrants brought with them from the Old World. Added to this new printing of The Arts and Architecture of German Settlements in Missouri is a touching and informative introduction by Adolf E. Schroeder. Schroeder's long friendship with Charles van Ravenswaay allows him to reflect on the vast contributions this author made to our knowledge of Missouri's German culture. Everyone interested in architecture, crafts, or Missouriana will find this book indispensable as they savor van Ravenswaay's excellent presentation of the craftsmen and their products against the background of the aspirations and folkways of a distinctive culture.

Emergency Dinners - The Amateur Cook's Manual

By: Charles Herman Senn

“Emergency Dinners - The Amateur Cook's Manual” is, as the title suggests, a cook book designed for those with little experience or perhaps even skill when it comes to the kitchen. To that end, it contains a selection of simple recipes for producing delicious dishes suitable for anyone, but which will be of especial utility to those in a bit of a pickle! Need to come up with something fast, or even convince your guests that you are actually able to cook? If so, then this volume is for you! Charles Herman Senn (1862 – 1934) was a German writer of cook books. He wrote profusely on the subject, producing cook books for all manner of people and situations, but was particularly well-known for his vegetarian and confectionery recipes. Other notable works by this author include: “Breakfast and Supper Dishes” (1898), “A Book of Salads: The Art of Salad Dressing” (1922), and “British Red Cross Society Cookery Manual” (1915). Contents include: “Hors-d'Oeuvre Dishes”, “Soups and Broths”, “Fish Cookery”, “Meat Cookery”, “Sauces”, “Vegetables and Salads”, “Farniaceous, Saboury, and Breakfast Dishes”, “Sweet Dishes”, “Miscellaneous Recipes”, “Sick-room Cookery”, “Menu Suggestions for Family Meals”, “Dinner Party Menus, with Special Recipes”, etc. The Vintage Cookery Books series hopes to bring old wisdom and classic techniques back to life, as we have so much to learn from 'the old ways' of cooking. Not only can these books provide a fascinating window into past societies, cultures and every-day life, but they also let us actively delve into our own history – with a taste of what, how and when, people ate, drank, and socialised.
