A colônia Dona Francisca no sul do Brasil

"Translation of an 1853 book in German on the colony that would eventually become Joinville, Santa Catarina. Author resided in the colony from 1851-52 and his report shows clearly the problems caused by false publicity, poor planning and leadership, and failures of support and infrastructure. A detailed and valuable look at early colonization"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
