Friedrich Gerstäcker (1816 - 1872) verbrachte einen guten Teil seines Lebens in den Vereinigten Staaten. Literarisch gilt er als Vorläufer Karl Mays - seine Geschichten und Romane waren äußerst populär und trugen nicht unwesentlich zur Auswanderungswelle jener Zeit bei. Mit seiner kurzen Geschichte über die "Backwoodsmen", jene Siedler, die sich jenseits der Zivilisation, der "frontier" also, ihre Bleibe bauten, zeichnet er ein liebevolles Bild von Amerikanern, deren heutige Nachfahren Sitten und Traditionen ihrer Vorväter unverändert übernommen zu haben scheinen.

Just when I think I’ve made my peace with my lot, the portal pops open and two men shoot through, throwing punches before their feet even finish landing in my town. When they finally look at me, all I see is problems. Big, ginormous, too-handsome problems.
