Summary	The story of Robert and Margarete and their children Johannes and Dorothea, who emigrate from Germany to the United States in the 1860's. After landing in New Orleans and joining a wagon train headed west to Nebraska, the family establishes a farm outside Omaha. The book ends with a switch to modern day with descendants of Robert and Margarete living on the same farm. They make the decision to investigate their roots and visit Germany, reversing the trip their ancestors made.
