A new book has been published, "Walrabenstein - The Plight and Flight of the Palatines"
It was written by Jeaneane Walrath, a descendant of Heinrich Conrad Wallrad (as signed by him in his 1746 will).
Introduction by Jeaneane Walrath
Although, “Walrabenstein – The Plight and Flight of the Palatine” is a work of fiction, the timeline and major events are factual. What I mean to say’ even though, the events did occur, they did not all occur, necessarily, to the Walrath family, or maybe they did occur at some point in time to some member in the Walrath family, but not naturally to the character depicted.
The story, constructed to depict the plight of the Palatine people as a whole, is relayed as real as possible, in order to portray what the Palatines endured at the hands of the French, primarily, Louis the VIX, and to show what led them to leave their precious homeland to be governed at the hand of a foreign Queen.
As a representation of the Palatines, the Walrath family is the thread that binds the event all together. Interwoven into the fabric of history, we can understand the powerful motivating force of liberation that led 50,000 people to take the drastic measures of an Auswanderung out of Germany to the wild frontiers of an untamed country.
The book is available through many book sellers including Amazon.com.
