Man of Two Worlds (April 2009) -- A frequently unexplored topic in stories of immigrants is the effect of their move on friends and family who are left behind. In 1854, Wilhelm Kempe, 26, and his sister Auguste, 20, left their native Saxony in Europe for a new home in Texas. Left behind were their aging, widowed father, a 10-year-old sister, and an 8-year-old brother -- people who struggled for decades to reconcile their lives in the Old World with that of their relatives in the New World. Their letters to Wilhelm tell, often painfully, of the emotional toll this disruption took on the lives of family and friends who remained in Europe.
