Following the subjugation of          the indigenous Prusi people by the Teutonic Order during the 13th          century, the region known as eastern Prussia emerged as a kind of haven          for Christian settlement. During the 1860s, however, numerous East          Prussians migrated to the Ukraine and the Russian province of Vohlynia          in search of more abundant land. The promise of a better life in Russia          proved to be short-lived, however, owing to the abolition of serfdom,          universal military conscription, and Russian ethnocentrism. As a result,          by the 1890s, large numbers of East Prussians from Russia began to          emigrate to the United States, with many, like the author's parents,          settling in Wisconsin.
This is the          account of that historic pilgrimage, and it devotes ample space to both          the European heritage of these Prussian-Americans and the Wisconsin          settlements that ensued. Based upon years of research,
East Prussians          from Russia
identifies some 240 Prussian families that re-settled in          Marinette and Oconto counties, Wisconsin. Mr. Anuta furnishes the family          member's year of birth, date entered the U.S., country of origin, port          of entry, and date of death, as well as the name of his spouse, and her          dates of birth and death. Also very useful are a number of plat maps          showing the distribution of land in the aforementioned counties among          East Prussian settlers around the turn of this century. Profusely          illustrated,
East Prussians from Russia
also includes maps,          facsimiles of source records, photographs of homes, schools, churches          and other evidence of settlement in Germany, Russia, and Wisconsin.
